In 2019, he lost his seat under the JJP to the Bharatiya Janata Party.[4] He has also been the President of Table Tennis Federation of India since 2017 and Executive Member of Indian Olympic Association since 2019.The JJP suffered a drubbing by the hands of the saffron tsunami in the state of Haryana in 2024 Assembly elections , where the BJP stormed back to power for the third consecutive time in the state. The party managed to garner just 0.9% of the votes and Dushyant Chautala lost his deposit, finishing fifth.
