==Political career==

His hardwork and dedication soon give him a chance to work as the state president of party's youth wing: the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM).<ref name="ravinderraina" />
During the budget session in early 2018, Raina led his party colleagues several times in shouting anti-Pakistan slogans in the House to protest against the frequent ceasefire violations by the neighbouring country along the [[Line of Control|Line of Control (LoC)]].<ref name="ravinderraina" />
===Controversy===
Raina courted controversy in 2015 when he took oath as [[Member_of_the_Legislative_Assembly|MLA]] in [[Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly]] in the name of "[[Vaishno Devi|Mata Vaishno Devi]]". Members of opposition registered their objection by saying that there is no provision for a member of the legislative house to take oath in the name of "Mata Vaishno Devi". Protem Speaker Mohmmad Shafi had to intervene in the matter and later he asked Raina to take oath in the name of God.<ref name="indianexpress" />
