He voices issues faced by common working class in the parliament like minimum wage for Aanganwadi and ASHA[8] workers, welfare schemes for drivers[9] etc.
Due to incompetent leadership and internal disputes within CPIM, he joined BJD (Biju Janta Dal) in July 2013.
BJD Chief and Odisha CM Sri Naveen Patnaik personally welcomed Mr.Singh [11] to Biju Janta Dal and said "He is a asset for the Party".
He continued to advise the state government on various welfare schemes including Jaga Mission, which guarantees permanent settlement for slum dwellers in Odisha.
In 2018 Subhash Singh under the leadership of honorable Chief minister Sri Naveen Pattnaik founded Biju Sramika Samukhya - the labour wing of BJD.
Apart from raising issues in the upper house (Rajya Sabha), Mr.Singh also actively pursues the solutions by constantly chasing respective ministries.
In such scheme of things, CM Patnaik pitted sitting Rajya Sabha member Subhash Singh in the direct mayor election.
Everyday as mayor he reaches out to various wards in his constituency and meets people on spot and tried to understand and address their problems.
