After her husband's death, she was elected unopposed to the Lok Sabha in a by-poll in 1973. She was re-elected from the [[Karad]] constituency for the next three terms. After the post-emergency split in the Congress, when many party veterans in the state aligned with the congress led by [[Devraj Urs]], Chavan chose to remain with [[Indira Gandhi]] and also served as the Congress(i) State President at that time. When Indira Gandhi returned to power in 1980, she nominated Premalakaki to Rajya Sabha in 1981. Chavan was re-elected to the Lok Sabha from Karad in 1989.
