Question

was the commitment of chaudhary devi lal that he would waive the loans of the farmers and small businessman a fair election promise?

Answer 1

no, that wasn't done as a fair election

Answer 2

No. It was not at all a fair election promise.

Chaudhary Devi Lal's struggle against the Congress encouraged him to declare "Nyaya Yudh" meaning "war for justice".

Towards achieving his aim, he also formed a political party called the Lok Dal in Haryana that promised citizens of the state that if they were voted to power, they will waive off the loans of the farmers and small businessman.

As a result, in 1987, they got a stunning victory by defeating the Congress party and getting 80- out of 95 seats in the Haryana Legislative Assembly.
