He represented the Janata Dal at the time.[1] According to one narrative, it was Paswan's poetry that attracted the attention of the Janata Dal chief Laloo Prasad Yadav and enabled his election to the Rajya Sabha.[2] His tenure in the Rajya Sabha lasted from 1 June 1993 to 2 April 1994.[3]

On 14 March 2012 Paswan was named national Vice President and Spokesperson of the Indian National Trade Union Congress.[4]
