He was Minister for Forest, Environment, Ecology of J&K in [[Jammu and Kashmir People's Democratic Party|PDP]]-[[Bhartiya Janata Party|BJP]] coalition government in J&K.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.firstpost.com/india/bjp-minister-in-jammu-and-kashmir-fixes-woman-doctors-collar-image-goes-viral-2321894.html|title=BJP minister in Jammu and Kashmir 'fixes' woman doctor's collar, image goes viral}}</ref> He represents the [[Basohli (Vidhan Sabha constituency)|Basohli constituency]] in [[Jammu and Kashmir (state)|Jammu and Kashmir]] Assembly and is president of the Dogra Swabhimaan Sangathan.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Controversy==<br />
In March 2015, a female doctor in [[Jammu and Kashmir (state)|J&K]] sought the registration of a criminal case against Singh for allegedly misbehaving with her in public. Dr. Gurmeet Kour, the state-run hospital registrar for Psychiatry Diseases, said Minister for Health and Medical Education Choudhary Lal Singh shouted at her in public, leaving her "mentally harassed and wrecked". Singh claimed that was an attempt to prevent him from bringing an improvement in the health facilities in J&K.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/woman-doc-alleges-public-misconduct-by-jk-bjp-minister/|title=Woman doc alleges public misconduct by J&K BJP minister |first=Arun |last=Sharma |date=2015-03-12|work=[[The Indian Express]]|access-date=2018-04-17|language=en-US}}</ref> In July 2015, Singh was criticized for touching the collar of a female doctor to fold that correctly in a government hospital in Kashmir.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-jammu-and-kashmir-bjp-minister-chaudhary-lal-singh-touches-woman-doctor-s-collar-image-goes-viral-2100634%7Ctitle=Jammu|title=Jammu and Kashmir: BJP Minister Chaudhary Lal Singh touches woman doctor's collar, image goes viral|website=DNA|publisher=[[Press Trust of India]]|language=en-US|access-date=2018-04-17}}</ref><br />
<br />
In 2018 he attended a rally in support of the accused rapists in the [[Kathua Rape and Murder case]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Cold sweat gave Sanji Ram away, says police officer probing Kathua rape and murder |url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/india/cold-sweat-gave-sanji-ram-away-says-police-officer-probing-kathua-rape-and-murder/cid/1692244 |website=www.telegraphindia.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.firstpost.com/india/fresh-trouble-for-chaudhary-lal-singh-former-jk-forest-minister-accused-of-bending-rules-to-supply-cutch-wood-to-factories-4440873.html|title=Fresh trouble for Chaudhary Lal Singh: Former J&K forest minister accused of bending rules to supply cutch wood to factories - Firstpost|website=www.firstpost.com|access-date=2018-05-31}}</ref> Singh defended his attendance at the rally, stating that he was there to "defuse the situation".
