Chandigarh, June 4 (IANS) For over three decades, Haryana ’s political scene has been dominated by three Lals. The trio of Devi Lal, Bansi Lal and Bhajan Lal have virtually shaped the state’s destiny since its inception Nov 1, 1966. But with the death of three-time chief minister Bhajan Lal in Hisar town Friday, the Lal era has come to an end.

The ‘Lals of Haryana ’, as they were described by the media , remained chief ministers for nearly 28 out of the 31 years between 1968 and 1999. While Devi Lal and Bansi Lal hailed from the politically-dominant Jat community, Bhajan Lal held on his own as a non-Jat leader. He hailed from the Bishnoi community and was a small trader in Adampur town near Hisar before starting his political career at the local level.
