A two-term MLA, Singh represents the Rasra Assembly seat in Ballia district and is a Thakur by caste.

Meanwhile, a day after Guddu Jamali resigned from the post and the party, the BSP issued a statement, saying that he had been removed following his alleged involvement in a case of exploitation by a woman.-IANS
