==Political journey==
Babu Singh Kushwaha, who belonged to a simple family, along with rising heights in politics, also grew richer.  Kushwaha, who belonged to a farming family in Pakhrauli village of Baberu tehsil of Banda district, graduated in 1985.  After this, he started his life by putting a dump in Atarra.  On April 1988, he came in contact with BSP founder Kanshi Ram.  Kanshi Ram called him to Delhi.  Kushwaha had gone to Delhi dreaming of trying his political fortune, but Kanshi Ram made him an employee of the BSP office.
Even 6 months would not have passed in the BSP office of Delhi that he was promoted and sent to do organization work in Lucknow office.  When there was an alliance between SP and BSP in 1993, Babu Singh was made District President of Banda.  After this, Mayawati called him to Lucknow and entrusted him with the responsibility of telephone operator in the BSP office.  In 1997, he got a big reward for the first time as a member of the Legislative Council.  In 2003 also, Babu was again sent to the Legislative Council and when the BSP government was formed for the third time, he was made the Minister of Panchayati Raj.
In 2007, when BSP came to power with an absolute majority, Babu Singh got important departments like minerals, appointments, cooperatives.  When the Department of Family Welfare was formed, this department was also handed over to him.  This proved afresh that he is Mayawati's most trusted leader.  The crores of rupees that the government could not spend for the National Rural Health Mission were noticed by Babu Singh and then the game of Bandarbant started.
