Singh gave his land to charity There was a family dispute for this, which had also reached the court. He was also a member of the All India Congress Committee's Executive Council of Allahabad.

political life:
Vishwanath Pratap Singh was interested in politics in his student life. He was from a prosperous family, for this reason, he got success in youth politics. Their relationship has been with the Indian Congress Party. He reached the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly in 1969-1971. He also held the charge of Chief Minister in Uttar Pradesh. His Chief Minister's tenure remained from June 9, 1980, to June 28, 1982. After that, he became the Union Commerce Minister on January 29, 1983. Vishwanath Pratap Singh was also a member of the Rajya Sabha. On December 31, 1984, he became the finance minister of India. In the scenario of Indian politics, Vishwanath Pratap Singh was the finance minister at that time when he was confronted with Rajiv Gandhi. Vishwanath Pratap Singh had information that many Indians have deposited huge amounts in foreign banks. VP Singh, viz., Vishwanath Pratap Singh, appointed the Fairfax, a spy agency in the US so that such Indians can be traced. Meanwhile, on 16th April 1987, Sweden broadcast the news that 410 guns of Bofors Company of India were in the deal, of which 60 crores was given as commission. When this news reached the Indian media, he started making it a headgear every day. The opposition used to use this 'breaking news' as well. He conveyed this message to the public that Rajiv Gandhi's government was running away from the investigation in the Rs 60 crore brokerage. The Indian court also granted a clean chit to Rajiv Gandhi. In the headlines of the Bofors scandal, elections of 1989 came also. V. P. Singh and the opposition presented this as an election issue. Although the primary investigation proved that no allegation was made against Rajiv Gandhi by the auditor general, however, the auditor general had brought the credibility of the guns into doubt. It became clear in the midst of the Indian public that if the Bofors guns were not relational then the transaction would have been brokered. In such a situation, the target was to become Rajiv Gandhi and his government. Here VP Singh, after being expelled by Congress in 1987, decided to play the role of Vibhishan. But this Vibhishan wanted Rama's defeat instead of Ravan. V. P. Singh went into the middle of the public and began to propagate that corruption is in the top level in the Congress government. For this reason, the officer and the bureaucracy have become corrupt. The high level of corruption claims surprised all sections of India. V. P. Singh's words sounded like the truth of truthful Harishchandra.

V. P. Singh, after a declaration of the election date, claimed in the public meetings that Bofors has deposited the amount of brokerage brokered in the foreign bank named Lotus, and after coming to power, he will reveal the whole episode. The person, who was being sponsored by the Finance and Defense Ministry in the Congress, was accusing it, for this reason, the proletariat assumes that the claims of VP Singh will certainly be the truth. Now there is no need to say that VP Singh had to reach the power of propaganda against Rajiv Gandhi for the purpose. In this election, truth and sincerity were sacrificed and falsehood made people miserable. It is also the psychology that if one lies in your ears repeatedly, then one day you take him to be true. The same thing happened in the case of the Bofors deal. The Indian public believed it to be true. Thus, the image of VP Singh in this election became a politician whose integrity and duty could not be doubted on allegiance. The youth of Uttar Pradesh considered him as their hero. V. P. Singh lived with the students' trolley. He used to be with the students on the election campaign on motorcycles. He avoided the car's ride as much as possible to show himself, ordinary person. As a result, its meaningful effect was achieved. On the one hand, V. P. Singh created the image of his Satyarthi Harishchandra, while on the other hand, he started the task of breaking the Congress. VP Singh started contacting people who were dissatisfied with Rajiv Gandhi. He wanted to dissociate from dissatisfied Congress Rajiv Gandhi and Congress Party. His first name in this campaign was Arif Muhammad. Arif Muhammad was a free and progressive person. For this reason, he wanted that the elimination of Islamic virtues is necessary. Arif Muhammad and Rajiv Gandhi were very close to each other but one event created a deep gap between them. Actually, after the divorce of Shahbano by her husband in Hyderabad, the matter reached the court. The court considered the Muslim woman Shah Bano as eligible for living allowance. But Muslim fundamentalists wanted to decide on the basis of 'Muslim Personal Law'. For this reason, this controversy had caught a lot. In such a situation, Rajiv Gandhi told Arif Muhammad that he should run a strong campaign to convince the people that Muslims should adopt a new law and should not rely on 'Muslim personal law'.

V. P. Singh along with Vidyacharan Shukla, Ramadhan and Satpal Malik and other dissident Congressmen formed their separate morcha on October 2, 1987. The Bharatiya Janata Party was also involved in this front. The Leftists also announced the support for the front. Thus, a seven-party front was formed on August 6, 1988, and the National Front was formally formed on 11 October 1988.

At the post of Prime Minister:
The 1989 Lok Sabha election was completed. The Congress suffered heavy losses. He got only 197 seats. Vishwanath Pratap Singh's National Front got 146 seats. The BJP and the Leftists intend to support the national front. Then the BJP had 86 MPs and 52 MPs near the Left. In this way, the National Front got a support of 248 members. V. P. Singh was telling himself as the prime ministerial candidate. He felt that the defeat of Rajiv Gandhi and Congress was possible only because of him. But Chandrashekhar and Devi Lal also joined the race for the post of Prime Minister. It was thus decided that VP Singh will be crowned as the Prime Minister and Chaudhary Devi Lal will be made Deputy Prime Minister. As soon as he became the Prime Minister, he ran towards the Golden Temple to keep the wounds on Sikhs wound.
