Mr. Nirmal Singh's entry into politics was a natural progression from being a leader among his people and friends in his early years.

It was due to his innate tendency to help the under trodden and fighting injustice abounding in society that he carried the mantle into politics too as an adult.

Whether it was standing up to oppression of local strongmen in his village or rebuffing harassment of the weak, he was a person all knew they could turn to for help.

His Political journey started with Sh.

Sanjay Gandhi in Indian Youth Congress.

When Sh.

Sanjay Gandhi's demonstration in Chandigarh was met with Lathi charge, Nirmal Singh threw himself over Sh.

Sanjay Gandhi to protect him.

From that day onwards, there was no looking back for his relationship with Congress.
