Share: Parkash Singh:  Sardar Parkash Singh Badal's stature in politics cannot be forgotten. Sardar Parkash Singh Badal helped Atal Bihari Vajpayee to become the Prime Minister during the crisis. At that time, he supported Atal Bihari Vajpayee with eight Akali and four INIL MPs totaling 12 MPs. The foundation of Akali Dal's strong relationship with the BJP was laid during the 13-day government of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

It is 1996. Eight of the 13 Akali candidates who contested the Lok Sabha elections won. Sardar Parkash Singh Badal reached Punjab Bhavan in Delhi with these Akali MPs. At that time, the exercise of forming a government under the leadership of HD Deve Gowda was going on at the centre.

On getting this information, Sardar Parkash Singh Badal met Atal Bihari Vajpayee and promised to support him. When Sardar Parkash Singh Badal returned to Punjab Bhavan, the Akali leaders urged him to join the Deve Gowda government. On this, the government Parkash Singh Badal made it clear that the Akali will not be part of the government which will have the support of the Congress.

Agrarian law became the reason for separation of BJP 

Sardar Parkash Singh Badal wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the farmers' agitation against the agricultural laws. Sardar Parkash Singh Badal wrote that it is very difficult to believe that a government with such a large majority is not able to stop the failure to take decisions. After this, relations between the Akali Dal and the BJP broke down and Harsimrat Kaur Badal, the daughter-in-law of the Badal family, resigned from the ministerial post.

Devilal performed the duty of a father 

Parkash Singh Badal's daughter was married to Adesh Pratap Kairon. At that time, Sardar Parkash Singh Badal was locked up in a jail in South India. His supporters approached him that he would get parole easily in the name of marriage if he would attend the wedding.

At that time Sardar Parkash Singh Badal had said that my elder brother Devilal is in Haryana. He will perform all the wedding ceremonies at my house. Then Devi Lal married the daughter of Sardar Parkash Singh Badal. As Deputy Prime Minister, he defied all protocol and went to South India to meet Devilal Sardar Parkash Singh Badal.

Majithia was made a minister 

There is another famous episode in Haryana politics. The Akali Dal government was formed in Punjab and Sardar Parkash Singh Badal refused to make Bikram Singh Majithia a minister. Sardar Parkash Singh Badal was afraid that the party would be accused of being a partner. At that time, Om Prakash, close to Majithia approached Chautala and Chautala talked about inducting Bikram Majithia into the cabinet. Even Sardar Parkash Singh Badal could not avoid Chautala's words.
