After starting his political career in 1980, Ajit, son of former Prime Minister Chaudhary Charan Singh, forming alliances with various parties.
In 1999, he entered into an alliance with the BJP and became agriculture minister in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government.
But in 2004, Ajit Singh broke with the BJP and entered into an alliance with the SP.
He said he then contested on 10 seats but won three.
Ajit severed ties with the SP in 2007 assembly election and contested 254 seats but could win 10 seats.
In the Lok Sabha elections in 2009, RLD forged an alliance with the BJP to contest in seven seats, of which registered a win in five.
But in December 2011, Singh slipped out and allied with the Congress-led UPA government.
On December 18, 2011 he was appointed as the Union civil aviation minister in the Manmohan Singh government.
In the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, RLD back into an alliance with the Congress and contested on eight seats, but has roundly destroyed by both Ajit and Jayant loss of the stronghold Baghpat and Mathura, respectively.
When Ajit got sidelined by the SP and the Congress who came together in 2017, he decided to contest alone in 171 seats but the party could win only one seat.
The single RLD MLA from Chhaprauli (Baghpat), Sahendra Singh Ramala, too, later defected to the BJP leaving RLD completely faceless.
RLD is made part of the BSP and SP alliance in 2019 Lok Sabha elections but continues to struggle even as Ajit and Jayant lost, this time from Muzaffarnagar and Baghpat, respectively.
