Tejbhan Singh (Hindi: तेजभान सिंह; Hindi pronunciation: [t̪eːd͡ʒ.bʱaːn sɪ̃ŋɦ]; 1942 or 1943 – 4 July 2026), also known as Dada, was an Indian politician associated with the Bharatiya Janata Party. He served as a four-term Member of the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly, representing the Gauriganj Assembly constituency in Amethi district.
Early life and career
During his youth, he worked as a full-time volunteer (Pracharak) of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. He later joined the Bharatiya Jana Sangh.

Why this record matters
“Tejbhan Singh” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Tejbhan, Singh and Indian provides the most credible route into that argument.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q140456659. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1942, 1943, 2026 and 1977.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
