He was elected to the Punjab Legislative Assembly in 2002 on a Akali Dal ticket from Sunam for first time. He was re-elected from Sunam in 2007 and 2012. In 2007, he was made cabinet minister and given portfolio of PWD. After 2012 elections, he was made minister of finance as predecessor Upinderjit Kaur lost her elections.
In the state assembly elections to be held 2017, Akali Dal has not given him ticket from Sunam constituency, the constituency from which he has won last 3 assembly elections. Instead, he will contest the elections from Lehra constituency in Sangrur district. Smt.
