His first electoral contest came in a 1993 Haryana Assembly by-election from the Narwana constituency, which he lost. Three years later, in 1996, he contested again and defeated the sitting chief minister Om Prakash Chautala, a notable victory that helped establish his profile in state politics. He retained influence in subsequent state elections and served multiple terms as a Member of the Legislative Assembly, representing Narwana and later the Kaithal constituency following delimitation.
At the national level within the Congress party, Surjewala’s rise included his appointment as National President of the Indian Youth Congress in March 2000, a role in which he later became the longest-serving president.
