As of 1973, Singh was a member of the General Council of the All India Trade Union Congress.[1]

Singh was elected to the Bihar Legislative Assembly in an 18 March 1979 by-election in the Matihani seat.[2] Singh obtained 25,660 votes, defeating the Indian National Congress (I) candidate Vashishth Narayan Singh and Mithilesh Kumar Singh of the Janata Party.[3] The by-election had been called following the murder of communist legislator Sitaram Mishra in 1978.[4]

Singh contested the Matihani seat again in the Legislative Assembly elections of 1980 and 1985. He finished in second place both times, with 23,796 votes (36.18%) in 1980 and 30,542 votes (44.15%) in 1985.[5][6]
