Singh was the six female M.L.A.s elected to Sixth Legislative Assembly of Delhi by winning the February 2015 Delhi Legislative Assembly elections. All of them were from the AAP. AAP won 67 of 70 seats in the assembly. Singh won from the Rohtas Nagar (Assembly constituency), securing 62,209 votes. She defeated the sitting M.L.A. Jitender Mahajan (Jitender Kumar) of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) by a margin of 7,874 votes. Mahajan had defeated Mukesh Hooda of the AAP by a margin of more than 14,000 votes in the previous Delhi Legislative Assembly elections in 2013.
During the election campaign, Singh's car was attacked and damaged with iron rods and wooden clubs by a group of unidentified miscreants in North east Delhi, in the night while she was on the way home. The Hindu noted that she was fielded by the AAP to appease the large migrant population from Purvanchal.
