Controversy and Chautala - old friends meet again

Chandigarh, Jan 22: Convicted and condemned to prison for 10 years, Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) president and former Haryana chief minister Om Prakash Chautala is likely to end up spending most of his time



Abhay Chautala was in the news recently after he controversially got elected as the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) and Indian Boxing Federation (IBF) president. His election led to India being suspended from the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Indian boxers too have been banned from participating in international events for now.

Ajay Chautala is facing charges of disproportionate assets.

The conviction and sentencing in the JBT scam could not have come at a worse time for the Chautalas and the INLD. The party and its leaders were already in poll mode for the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, which were to be followed by the Haryana assembly election.
