He was a member of Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly elected from Bijnor as a candidate of Bharatiya Janata Party.[1] He lost 2019 look Sabha election from Bijnor Lok Sabha constituency.[2] Kunwar Bhartendra Singh belongs to a traditional royal lineage.[3] He has been in news and controversies as an accused in the Muzaffarnagar riots.[4] He was also issued notice by The Allahabad High Court on an election petition filed by one Rajendra Kumar.[5]
