He has been an MLA for several terms and a member of the Rajya Sabha. He won the 2014 Lok Sabha elections from Deoria constituency.

Entrepreneurship is the backbone of Development.Entrepreneurship is the need of rural people. Common man of a village can be made self dependent through entrepreneurship.We have a number of Self Help Groups in villages which have tremendous energy.The optimum utilization of this tremendous energy can eradicate poverty by establishing an Industrial framework in villages for this purpose. We have trained staff to impart product oriented training to these enthusiastic and willing poor ladies for establishing a production unit in village. These ladies can do wonders through micro-entrepreneurship. Hon'ble Shri Kalraj Mishra ji will have to take personal interest in doing so through his Ministry.
