His father, the late Brij Kishor Singh, was a respected politician and former MLA from Baruraj, who served from 2010 to 2015. The political legacy of the family can be traced back to his grandfather, Yumna Singh, who actively participated in electoral politics beginning in 1967 as a candidate of the Socialist Party (India). After multiple electoral efforts, Yumna Singh won the assembly elections in 1980 as a member of the Indian National Congress, thereby establishing the family's political presence in the region.^[4]

Following this, Brij Kishor Singh contested elections from 1995 onward, securing a major victory in 2005 and serving as an MLA until 2015. The family's continuous involvement in state politics significantly influenced Dr. Singh's path.^[5]

Despite a spirited campaign, he was narrowly defeated by Nand Kumar Rai of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) by a margin of 4,909 votes. This close contest reflected Dr. Singh’s growing popularity and support among voters.^[7]
