Political career

Sinha was a member of Janata Dal (United) and prior to Bihar Assembly elections of 2020, he joined Bhartiya Janata Party. Sinha was serving as District level president of Janata Dal United before joining Bhartiya Janata Party. After assuming the membership of the BJP, he was made a candidate for 2020 assembly elections from Raxaul Assembly constituency, keeping aside sitting Member of Legislative Assembly, Ajay Singh. In response to candidature of Sinha, protests were organised by the supporters of Ajay Singh; the supporters of Singh contested the decision of BJP leadership on the question of rejecting his candidature in favour of Sinha.[6]

It was during tenure of Sinha in 2022 that a food laboratory was established in Raxaul. A sub-divisional hospital was also inaugurated by union minister Mansukh Mandaviya. This laboratory was aimed at increasing the import and export of food products as the quality testing of those products could take place locally promoting swift movement of the cargo.[1]
