Later he became Chief Minister during that assembly's five-year run. He might have won a bypoll or become MLC. In 1962 he became MLA from Ranikhet South seat. In 1967 and 1969 elections, he was elected from Ranikhet assembly seat. In 1970, he supported Tribhuvan Narayan Singh's bid to become CM of Uttar Pradesh as a member of Congress (O), but the government did not last long.[5]
