The inclusion of Indraj Singh in the cabinet is expected to benefit the party in multiple ways, including sending a message to the backward communities voters and the people residing in the rural regions. The saffron party managed to register victory over all the 10 rural constituencies of Delhi.

Ravinder Indraj Singh has been an active critic of AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal and raised issues related to SC/ST and rural Delhi while AAP was in power. 50-year-old Singh is also a member of the Schedule Caste committee of the party, and the move to include him in the cabinet is likely to send a positive message to the SC voters.

Indraj defeated incumbent AAP MLA on the Bawana constituency by more than 31 thousand votes. He graduated from Delhi University and has been working as a businessman. He is also known for his connectivity with people and has no criminal cases against him.
