The 1982 and 1987 elections were fought under the name Lok Dal (LKD). The party renamed into its current name in 1998. The party was a member of the [[National Democratic Alliance (India)|National Democratic Alliance]] (NDA), and thus part of the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] led government from 1998 to 2004 at the Federal level.

INLD has performed poorly in all the four consecutive general elections held since 1998.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://eci.nic.in/eci_main1/ElectionStatistics.aspx |title=Election Results - Full Statistical Reports – Election Commission of India |publisher= Election Commission of India}}</ref> It lost consecutive assembly elections for [[Haryana]] in 2005, 2009 and 2013. It failed to win any seats in Lok Sabha in 2004 and 2009 general elections, despite being in alliance with [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] in 2009.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://eci.nic.in/eci_main/archiveofge2009/Stats/VOLI/13_PerformanceOfStateParty.pdf |title=PERFORMANCE OF STATE PARTIES, STATISTICAL REPORT ON GENERAL ELECTIONS, 2009 – Election Commission of India |publisher= Election Commission of India}}</ref>

[[Jannayak Janta Party]] emerged from a split in the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) which itself had been caused by infighting among the Chautala family.

For [[2019 Haryana Legislative Assembly election]], they forged alliance with [[Shiromani Akali Dal]].
