She started her political career with the 2009 general elections. She was elected to the 15th Lok Sabha from Bathinda constituency after defeating Indian National Congress candidate Raninder Singh.

She defeated Congress candidate Amrinder Singh Raja Waring in a close fight by around 21000 votes. She has continued her stint in the Ministry of Food Processing Industries.
