Rajinder Rana has been closest to former Himachal Pradesh BJP Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal –

Rebel and disqualified MLA Rajinder Rana was once called Hanuman of former Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal. Rajinder Rana entry into politics was also due to Prem Kumar Dhumal. After coming to power in 2007, former Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal had appointed Rajinder Rana as the Vice Chairman of Himachal Pradesh Media Board, but after some time, Rajinder Rana had to leave the post of Vice Chairman of Himachal Pradesh Media Board. Earlier in the year 2012, Rajinder Rana had contested the elections as an independent candidate from Sujanpur assembly seat of Hamirpur district. In the 2012 Himachal Pradesh Assembly elections, BJP CPS Urmil Thakur and Congress CPS Anita Verma were in the fray against Rajinder Rana, but Rajinder Rana defeated both of them and won as an independent candidate by 14166 votes. In the year 2012, the Congress government was formed in Himachal Pradesh under the leadership of the then Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh and at that time Rajinder Rana became the Associate MLA of the Congress. Meanwhile, Lok Sabha elections were held in the year 2014. Congress had fielded Congress candidate Rajinder Rana against MP Anurag Thakur, who had won a hat-trick from Hamirpur parliamentary seat. At that time Rajinder Rana had to leave the post of Associate MLA. The Congress party had fielded Rajinder Rana wife Anita Rana as its candidate in the by-election from Sujanpur seat. During the Lok Sabha elections, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi wave was sweeping the country, Congress Anita Rana lost the election to BJP Candidate Narendra Thakur by just 550 votes. Despite the defeat, the then Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh had awarded Rajinder Rana the post of Vice Chairman of Himachal Pradesh Disaster Management Board.
