For the fourth time, Hukum Singh was elected an MLA in 1995 on the BJP ticket and party sources claimed that owing to his seniority in the state Assembly, he was made minister in BJP governments of Kalyan Singh and Rajnath Singh despite being a newcomer. 
It was during the 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots that Singh was named an accused, before attracting public attention for his "Hindu exodus" allegation from Kairana. 
This is his first term in the Lok Sabha.

On Friday, he was accused of orchestrating the issue to promote political career of one of his five daughters. 
UP police claimed that Singh brought up the exodus issue to consolidate Hindu votes to benefit his daughter in the 2017 elections. 
Rashtriya Lok Dal chief Ajit Singh, speaking at a rally on Tuesday, also came up with the same charge. 
Hukum Singh, however, dismissed the allegations and attacked the Jat leader for making "cheap comments". 
"If a person of Ajit Singh's stature can stoop to this level, trying to involve my family, you can infer what sort of a person he is. Check his background. He gained space entirely due to the BJP. Whenever he contested without the BJP, he and his son disappeared from the scene," the BJP MP said.
He added: "He's not bothered that he's trying to promote his son.He's only bothered about me, that I shouldn't do anything for my daughter."
