History

As a member of the Lodhi community, Singh commanded support among Other Backward Class groups, and his affiliation with the BJP had allowed it to expand its support beyond its traditional upper-caste base. However, he began to be seen as a "patron of the backward castes" by upper-caste members of his own party, and to face opposition as a result. Dissension within the party occurred at the same time as an increase in crime that Singh's administration was unable to control, and in May 1999, 36 BJP legislators resigned in protest at the continuation of Singh's administration.
Singh returned to the BJP in January 2004, and was made head of the party's state-level election committee for the 2004 Indian general election. He successfully contested the election from the Bulandshahar Lok Sabha Constituency.
