Political career
Kiran Choudhry started her electoral politics from Delhi. She contested and won in 1993 Delhi Legislative Assembly Election from Delhi Cantt but lost to Karan Singh Tanwar by 8,869 votes, then in 1998 she gained the seat from the same opponent by 2,626 votes, again lost to him in 2003 by 3,766 votes. In June 2004 she contested Rajya Sabha election from Haryana as INC candidate but lost to Tarlochan Singh who got elected as Independent Candidate. Choudhry entered Haryana electoral politics following the death of her husband and Bansi Lal's son, Surender Singh, in 2005. Choudhry became known as the daughter-in-law of former Haryana CM Bansi Lal, and got elected from Tosham (Bhiwani) on 5 June 2005 till 20 August 2024. In June 2024, she and her daughter, Shruti Choudhry, quit the Congress party due to differences with the party leader and ex-Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda. There were mixed reactions to her leaving the Congress party, wherein senior Congress MP Selja Kumari expressed regret over Choudhry's leaving and called it a loss for the party. According to political analysts, as Choudhry belongs to the Jat community, she may help improve BJP's standing among the community, which makes up almost a fourth of the state's population, while also expanding influence in the Bhiwani region, where her late father-in-law Bansi Lal enjoys respect. She got elected to Rajya Sabha as BJP candidate on 27 August 2024 for 2 years, by-election was held as Deepender Singh Hooda got elected to Lok Sabha from Rohtak and resigned as Rajya Sabha MP on 4 June. ==Electoral performance==
