715:'s ideology, he's been very keen and invigorating as a politician. As a student he always sought to help out and in order to help people on a larger scale, he sought to enter politics as he felt it was the only medium that would allow his goodwill and the benefits of his efforts, to reach a maximum number of the country's masses. In 1998, Shri. Ajay Chandrakar became a legislator for the first time on the basis of the ticket allocated to him by the Bharatiya Janata Party. But even before this, he had been at the helm of many political movements and agitations. In 1987, he even spent 7 days in jail for participating in an agitation. He considers this 7-day custody to be one of his biggest achievements. In 2003, he became a part of the Chhattisgarh government as a Panchayat and Rural Development Minister as well as a Minister of Parliamentary Affairs. In 2004, he was also assigned the portfolios of Science and Technology, Technical Education, and Manpower Planning. Due to a reshuffling of the cabinets in 2007, he became the Minister of Higher Education. In 2008, he suffered an unfortunate loss in the Legislative Assembly elections. Nevertheless, he was made the Head of the State Finance Commission, by the party recognizing his expertise and capacity. After the completion of his tenure, he was chosen to take up the dual responsibilities of being the party's vice-chairman and official spokesperson. At present he is the state minister Panchayat and Rural Development, Parliamentary Affairs, Public Health, Family Welfare and Medical Education Department. He tabled the special court's bill 2015 in the state assembly on behalf of the chief minister. The Bill provides for an effective deterrent against corrupt public servants.
