In 1975, Indira Gandhi declared the Emergency and Devi Lal along with all opposition leaders were jailed for 19 months. In 1977, the emergency ended and general elections were held. He was elected on the Janata Party ticket and became the Chief Minister of Haryana. For his steadfast opposition to emergency and dictatorial misrule, he became known as Sher-e-Haryana (Lion of Haryana).{{citation needed|date=August 2012}} He remained a Member of Parliament from 1980–82 and was a member of State assembly between 1982 and 1987. He formed Lok Dal and started Nyaya Yuddh (en. battle for justice), under the banner of Haryana Sangharsh Samiti, and became hugely popular among masses.

During his two tenures as chief minister of Haryana he made several decisions benefiting farmers and rural people. His popularity among farmers and rural people, earned him the title of 'Tau' (Elder Uncle). Devi Lal died on 6 April 2001 at the age of 86. He was cremated at Sangarsh Sthal on the banks of the river Yamuna in New Delhi. "Kisan Ghat" is the samadhi of another popular leader of the farmers, Charan Singh, fifth Prime Minister of India.
