Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Chaudhary Devi Lal and his party, the Lok Dal Party, won the Haryana Assembly election in 1987. Devi Lal Chaudhary made promises to the farmers and small businessmen that if his party, the Lok Dal party, won the elections, he would waive off their loans. This simply means that they would be free from the burden of the loans they had taken and the government would take care of the same. This promise appealed to the majority population of the state because when the elections were held in the state of Haryana in 1987, the majority of the population was unsatisfied with the ruling Congress Party and, therefore, voted in large numbers for the Lok Dal party. The Lok Dal party won the 1987 elections and Devi Lal Chaudhary was appointed the Chief Minister of Haryana.
The correct statement would be that Chaudhary Devi Lal won the State Assembly election of Haryana in 1987.
