Hari Kewal Prasad has been in active politics since the 1950s–1960s. During his political career, he has been attached with several political parties; Socialist Party, Janata Dal, Samata Party[5] & Samajwadi Party. During the 1970s, he was also a member of the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly.[2][3][6]

He had also held several key positions in the political parties he has been associated with.[2] Prasad was known to be an opponent of Bharatiya Janata Party, because of his socialist leaning. Although his son, Ravindra Kushwaha argues that Prasad was close to Lal Krishna Advani and Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the BJP political workers from Deoria district of Uttar Pradesh considered him as a rival of the party. This was witnessed in 2015, when, Amit Shah was to visit Salempur to take part in the death anniversary of Prasad, organized by his son, Ravindra Kushwaha. It was reported that Prasad had considerable influence among the members of Kushwaha-Maurya and Kamboj caste in Deoria and adjoining region, whose support was required by BJP to fare well in the election. This made the BJP schedule this visit of Shah. It was also an important visit as apart from Deoria district, the district like Siwan and Gopalganj of the state of Bihar also had a considerable population of Prasad's caste men, whom Shah wanted to send a message to.[7]

Prasad had even forced his son Ravindra Kushwaha to return to the BJP ticket, when the latter was about to contest the Assembly elections as a candidate of BJP, in the 1993 Assembly elections. In the 1991, Lok Sabha elections, BJP made Rambelash as their candidate from Salempur Lok Sabha constituency, who lost to Prasad. Prasad had contested as a candidate of Janata Dal then. In the 1998, Lok Sabha elections, the BJP candidate once again lost to Prasad, who by the time, became a member of Samata Party to contest the polls of 1998. In 1999, Prasad lost to Bahujan Samaj Party candidate; he was a member of Janata Dal (United) then. However, he won again in the 2004 Lok Sabha elections, as a candidate of Samajwadi Party.[8]

Prasad was also involved in activism for the rights of the downtrodden section of society. He served as the President of Porters` Mazdoor Union of North Eastern Railways between 1965-70. He was also associated with Hind Mazdoor Kisan Panchayat in Deoria, Uttar Pradesh between 1966-67. It was an organization working for the welfare of laborers and peasantry. Later, he also became a part of Roadways Mazdoor Sabha, an organization working for the welfare of manual laborers. He remained associated with it in the 1980s. He also participated in movements launched by Samyukta Socialist Party, Socialist Party, and Janata Party. The highest point of his activism was his participation in Scheduled Castes Kashi Temple Entry Movement of 1954. He led this movement to ensure the right to worship for the Dalit people. Prasad was also a part of Angreji Hatao Andolan (Remove English Name Plates Movement) in Varanasi, Lucknow, Farukhabad, Faizabad, Gorakhpur, Fatehpur and Deoria in 1954 and 1956.
