==Life and career==
Bhagwan Singh is a son of Devdhari Singh, who hails from Jagdishpur in [[Arrah]] district of Bihar. In the early part of his life he has been associated with the social work before entering the politics. His spouse is a government servant. He has been educated till matriculation level and has been charged with several criminal cases as per his affidavit submitted to [[Election Commission of India]]. In the affidavit, he reveals the charges lodged against him which includes attempt to murder and possession of harmful weapons.<ref></ref> Bhagwan Singh contests the election to [[Bihar Legislative Assembly]] from the Jagdishpur constituency. He started his political career from the [[Indian People's Front]], which came to be known as CPI-ML later. In 1990, he was elected from the Jagdishpur constituency to the legislative assembly as the CPI-ML candidate but in the next election the seat was won by Harinarayan Singh of [[Janata Dal]], but Bhagwan was reelected in 2000 from this seat, this time on the ticket of [[Samata Party]]. After the formation of [[Janata Dal (United)]] from the Samata Party, Bhagwan was elected once again in 2005 with the new party from the Jagdishpur seat.<ref></ref>

The dormant political career of Bhagwan Singh was boosted once again after [[Upendra Kushwaha]] formed [[Rashtriya Lok Samata Party]] in 2013 as a result of split in the ruling JD(U). In order to bring all [[Koeri|Kushwaha]] leaders under one umbrella for better political outcomes, some of the old politicians were given high posts in the newly formed party, which included Bhagwan Singh, who was made party's vice president.<ref name="The Quint"></ref> In 2018, Upendra Kushwaha, the founder of Rashtriya Lok Samata Party, left the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] led [[National Democratic Alliance]], which was seen by many of his party members as a suicidal step. Bhagwan Singh too protested against this decision and left RLSP to join the JD(U) with 35 state level office bearers and atleast 1200 workers of the party. The exit of Bhagwan Singh was preceded by the exit of other legislators of the party which included Sudhanshu Shekhar and [[Lalan Paswan]]. In the presence of JD(U)'s contemporary state president [[Bashishtha Narayan Singh]] Kushwaha hailed his decision to part his ways with RLSP.
