Kuldeep Bishnoi on his father, Jan Nayak Swargiya Ch. Bhajan Lal

Jan Nayak Swargiya Ch. Bhajan Lal was unarguably one of the most prolific political figures of the 20th Century. He was a three-time Chief Minister of Haryana and served as a Union Minister at the Centre. He was born on October 6th 1930 and received his formal education at Bahwal Nagar, which is now a part of Pakistan. He is married to Smt. Jasma Devi and is blessed with two sons, Ch. Chander Mohan and Ch. Kuldeep Bishnoi.

Kuldeep Bishnoi’s brother, Chander Mohan is an active politician within the HJC (BL) party in the polity of Haryana while Kuldeep Bishnoi is a Member of Parliament, Lok Sabha and also serves as the President of the Haryana Janhit Congress (BL) Party.

The HJC (BL) was launched by Jan Nayak Ch. Bhajan Lal and Ch. Kuldeep Bishnoi on December 2nd 2007 with the intention to offer a people-centric political dais from where the people of Haryana can share their disillusionment with the present anti-people policies of the ruling Congress Government and voice their concerns on the injustice metted to them.

Jan Nayak Ch. Bhajan Lal was a farmer by profession and belonged to a family of agriculturist background. He started his career from a meager beginning, with no political ties to his credit, and went on to become one of the most successful politicians in the political hierarchy of Haryana. He was elected as a Sarpanch followed by being elected as the Chairman of the Panchayat Samiti (Hisar) for 5 years and later became the President of the Congress Mandal (Hisar) for 4 years.

Sadly, Jan Nayak Ch. Bhajan Lal ji passed on 3rd June 2013 leaving behind a legacy of political expertise and heritage for all to follow. His funeral was well-attended with prominent personalities and political dignitaries present to offer their condolences.

During his political activism of over 40 years, Jan Nayak Swargiya Ch. Bhajan Lal has distinguished himself as a true nationalist and an able and committed administrator and even held the Agriculture and Environments & Forest portfolios during Rajiv Gandhi's administration. He was dotingly referred to as the ‘Chanakya’ of the 20th Century meaning ‘the great scholar’ and will always be remembered as one of the foremost architects of modern Haryana who fought tirelessly for the causes of the deprived and underprivileged.
