From 1994 to 1999 he was a member of the Rajya Sabha. He was re-elected in the 14th Lok Sabha elections for his second term in 2004. He was suspended from Samajwadi Party in 2006.

[7] In the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, he contested from Ghaziabad and lost to General V. K. Singh.

Raj Babbar, in the capacity of Congress spokesman, created controversy in 2013, by stating that Rs.12 is sufficient for a common man to get a full meal in Mumbai, which drew severe criticism. [9] He also said that a poor person in India can get full meals two times a day, within Rs. 28 to 32 and opposition parties termed Raj Babbar's statement laughable. [9] Later, he regretted his comments. [10] In July 2013, he compared Narendra Modi to Adolf Hitler, which also created controversy. [11]
