Beginning of Political Career
Although Kuldeep took interest in politics from a very young age, he first became fully involved in 1987, when he campaigned extensively with his father. For almost a decade, he looked after his father’s constituency and it was during this time that he was tutored in the matters of the state.
Political Achievements
State Assembly Election 1998
Kuldeep contested his first election in the year 1998. This year, Kuldeep came out of his father’s shadow and won the toughest by-election in the history of Haryana. The state assembly seat was won for the first time by an opposition candidate.
Lok Sabha Election 2004
This was one success that enhanced his image as a politician significantly both in the eyes of his people and the media.
Kuldeep won his first Lok Sabha election from Bhiwani, Haryana. It was an extraordinary achievement in more than one way:
Kuldeep’s win in Bhiwani brought about a significant development in state politics. It proved to be a catalyst for the merger of the Haryana Vikas Party with the Indian National Congress in Haryana.
Vidhan Sabha Elections, 2005
In the 2005 Vidhan Sabha elections, he was the star campaigner for his party and broke all records by visiting 33 constituencies in a whirlwind campaign tour.
He played a vital role in the formation of the Congress Government in the 2005 Vidhan Sabha elections. Kuldeep’s instant connection with the people made him a very successful star campaigner. He promoted Congress in the villages of Haryana by visiting people at their doorsteps, thereby playing an active role in the historic win for the Congress in Haryana.
Establishment of Haryana Janhit Congress (BL)
Seeing the plights of all sections of the society in Haryana under congress regime, kuldeep did not find it appropriate to remain silent, instead he raised his voice in favour of common people of Haryana against his own party(congress). People of Haryana gave him their support at every step and the result was the establishment of Haryana Janhit Congress (BL) on Dec 2,2007 at the historical rally of rohtak.this was unique in the sense that the people of Haryana themselves created a party,which was never done before in the history of politics.presence of over 10 lacs people was a proof that people of Haryana were with kuldeep in his fight.

This was one success that enhanced his image as a politician significantly both in the eyes of his people and the media.
Kuldeep won his first Lok Sabha election from Bhiwani, Haryana. It was an extraordinary achievement in more than one way:
- It was the first time in the history of Haryana that families of three former Chief Ministers were contesting from the same constituency. It was a head-on contest between the sons of Mr. Bhajan Lal, Mr. OP Chautala and Mr. Bansi Lal.
- The constituency posed various challenges for a newcomer like Kuldeep:
- It is a completely Jat dominated constituency and
- It is the former Chief Minister Mr. Bansi Lal’s home constituency.
- Mr. Ajay Chautala, son of ruling Chief Minister Mr. O.P.Chautala was the sitting Member of Parliament.
- Last but not the least, Congress had not won from that seat in the last 15 years.
- First time in history the constituency chose a non-jat leader by supporting Kuldeep with overwhelming majority.
- This constituency was under the close eyes of the media as well as large scale violence was expected due to the sheer profile of the people who were contesting.
Kuldeep’s win in Bhiwani brought about a significant development in state politics. It proved to be a catalyst for the merger of the Haryana Vikas Party with the Indian National Congress in Haryana.
