With the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) scripting history in Haryana with its third clear and decisive victory, an old picture of Prime Minister Narendra Modi with three stalwarts, known as the Lal trio, of the state politics is going viral on social media.
The three Lals dominated Haryana’s politics for more than four decades after the state was created in 1966.
Modi Archive, a popular X handle on Tuesday shared an old picture of PM Modi with the three ‘Lals’.
The three ‘Lals’ of Haryana namely – Devi Lal, Bhajan Lal, and Bansi Lal dominated the state’s political discourse and rose to the helm. Today, their descendants are taking forward their legacy but that doesn’t belittle their role and contributions to state polity. Even after decades of their departure from public life, they remain fresh and relevant in people’s minds.
Bansi Lal, the ‘architect of modern Haryana’, served as the defense minister and three-time Chief Minister. He was a confidant of Indira and Sanjay Gandhi during the Emergency.
Devi Lal, a farmer leader, was Haryana’s CM and Deputy PM of India. He founded INLD and was known as a Jat leader with rural support.
Bhajan Lal, a three-time Haryana CM, also served as Agriculture and Environment Minister in the Rajiv Gandhi government.
