Mr Singh is the son of veteran BJP leader Chaudhary Birender Singh. According to sources, Mr Singh may join the Congress in the presence of his father who had resigned from Congress in 2014 to join the BJP.Â
In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the bureaucrat-turned-politician had defeated Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) leader Dushyant Chautala and Bhavya Bishnoi, who was then with the Congress, to win Hisar Lok Sabha seat.
