Singh, the grandson of former royal Hari Singh, joined the Congress in 2018 and contested the 2019 national election from Uddhampur in Jammu and Kashmir.
Before joining the Congress, he had been in Mehbooba Mufti's People's Democratic Party (PDP).
Congress has performed poorly in the assembly elections in the five states losing its control in Pubjab to the Aam aAadmi Party (AAP).
This year, the party lost former Union Ministers Ashwani Kumar, RPN Singh and Shatrughan Sinha.
