He is a former member of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and he represents the Karnal constituency.

Khattar had joined the RSS in 1977, and after three years, he became a full-time pracharak. He worked as a pracharak for 14 years and then joined the BJP in 1994. He was Organisational General Secretary of the BJP in Haryana from 2000–2014.

The same year, Khattar was nominated as BJP's candidate from Karnal constituency for the Haryana Legislative Assembly election, and it was the first time that the BJP gained a majority in the state, with Khattar winning his maiden election by a margin of 63,736 votes.

Khattar was unanimously elected leader of the BJP Legislature Party on October 21, 2014 and took oath as Chief Minister on October 26, 2014 becoming the party's first Chief Minister of Haryana. It is also for the first time in the history of Haryana that a first-time MLA became the Chief Minister.
