Daljit Singh soon became popular as a political figure. He then filed as an independent candidate in 2012 Punjab Legislative Assembly Elections from Ludhiana East constituency.[4] Under the election symbol letter box he got more than 20 thousand votes but gradually lost to Akali Dal's Ranjit Singh Dhillon. In the next Municipal Elections he was again elected as councilor of Ward No. 8 and he got highest lead in the city. In 2014 he joined Team Insaaf led by Simarjit Singh Bains.

He was given party ticket from Ludhiana East for 2017 Punjab Assembly Elections.[5] He got second highest votes and lost to Congress’ Sanjay Talwar by 1581 votes. After the elections he was made Aam Aadmi Ludhiana Urban's president.[6] In 2018 Ludhiana Municipal Elections, his wife Balwinder Grewal contested and was chosen as councilor of Ward Number 11.[7]

In 2019 he left AAP.[8] This came as a huge shock to AAP. He later joined INC. But his time at INC came short due to bad leadership of Capt. Amrinder Singh led government. After 2 years stay at INC he again joined AAP. Raghav Chadha and other senior leaders were present at his joining day.[9]
