Vansh: Story of Chautals, Haryana's largest political family

The patriarch of Haryana's largest political family is Om Prakash Chautala, who is the former chief minister of the state.
The family, which traces its roots to Rajasthan, is based in Chautala village of Sirsa, Haryana. The INLD is Haryana’s main Opposition; it was founded by Devi Lal, O P Chautala’s father. Devi Lal, who was in the Congress until 1971, served twice as Haryana Chief Minister, beginning 1977 (Janata Party) and 1987 (Lok Dal), and then as Deputy Prime Minister, starting 1989. Devi Lal had a large rural base, as does Chautala, his eldest son, who has been CM thrice.
