Singh Mansion is the residence of Sanjeev Singh and it is the most eminent landmark in the city of Dhanbad. Started by the Late Suryadeo Singh (fondly remembered as "Vidhayak ji"), the sterling legacy is now headed by his son, the young and dynamic politician, Sanjeev Singh. Late Suryadeo Singh's wife, Smt. Kunti Devi, was elected to the Jharkhand Legislative Assembly, twice, in the 2005 and the 2009 Jharkhand Assembly elections, from the Jharia Constituency, on the ticket of the Bharatiya Janta Party. Remarkably, in the 2009 Jharkhand assembly elections Kunti Devi, Sanjeev Singh's mother emerged as the victorious candidate,[5] and the only saving face, for the Bharatiya Janta Party which had faced defeats in all the surrounding seats, such as Dhanbad, Sindri, Baghmara, Nirsa, Bokaro and Chandankiyari.
