The BJP nominated Singh to the Upper House of Parliament in March 2018. His term as a Rajya Sabha member will end on April 2. He was not re-nominated by his party. Singh expressed his displeasure with the party's process for selecting candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. He stated that, while he wanted to run for the Sidhi Lok Sabha seat, the BJP fielded Rajesh Mishra instead.

"There is a difference between what the BJP says and what it does," said Rajya Sabha MP Ajay Pratap Singh as he resigned from the party.
