In 2000, he was appointed the general secretary of the [[Akhil Bharatiya Adhivakta Parishad|Akhil Bhartiya Adhivakta Parishad]] and held this position until 2009. He was the government counsel for the [[Liberhan Commission]] which investigated the [[Demolition of the Babri Masjid|1992 demolition of the Babri Masjid]] and the Justice Wadhwa Commission which investigated the murder of Australian missionary [[Graham Staines]].

==Politics ==
Yadav was appointed as National Secretary of Bhartiya Janata Party in 2010 by [[Nitin Gadkari]], the then national party President.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web|title=Biography {{!}} Bhupender Yadav|url=http://www.bhupenderyadavbjp.in/biography/|access-date=2019-02-04|language=en-US}}</ref> On 4 April 2012 he was elected as a Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha.<ref name=":2" /> Yadav was the war room strategist behind securing convincing victories for his party in the assembly elections of Rajasthan (2013), Gujarat (2017), Jharkhand (2014) and Uttar Pradesh (2017).<ref name=":4">{{Cite web|url=https://www.dnaindia.com/jaipur/report-the-rise-rise-of-bhupendra-yadav-2594348|title=The rise & rise of Bhupendra Yadav|date=2018-03-16|website=dna|language=en|access-date=2019-02-04}}</ref> Yadav is the BJP's in-charge for the [[2020 Bihar Legislative Assembly election]]s. In July 2021, Yadav was inducted in the Modi Cabinet as a cabinet minister for environment. Yadav once said to have enormous popularity in Rajasthan, started losing it when he challenged the candidature of Former Minister and senior [[BJP]] leader Late [[Digamber Singh]] in the 2014 surajgarh by-poll; despite yadav's opposition Singh got the ticket. Yadav's opposition to [[Digamber Singh]] who enjoys tremendous popularity in [[Rajasthan]] is said to be the reason for the annihilation of his ground public support; denting Yadav's career.<ref>{{Cite web|title=NDA constituents in Bihar to repeat Lok Sabha poll performance: BJP leader Bhupender Yadav|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2020/aug/23/nda-constituents-in-bihar-to-repeat-lok-sabha-poll-performance-bjp-leader-bhupender-yadav-2187266.html|access-date=2020-10-24|website=The New Indian Express}}</ref>

== Parliamentary Committees ==

=== Joint Committee on Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2015 ===
The [[Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016|Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 201]]6 ("IBC"), which came into effect on May 28, 2016, is considered as an important legislation for early detection of financial sickness of any corporate debtor and to deal with such sickness in a time bound manner by allowing the implementation of the effective resolution plan, if the same is viable.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.mondaq.com/india/x/774714/Insolvency+Bankruptcy/IBC+Committee+Of+Creditors+Should+Include+Operational+Creditors|title=IBC: Committee Of Creditors Should Include Operational Creditors - Insolvency/Bankruptcy - India|website=www.mondaq.com|access-date=2019-02-04}}</ref> IBC sought to address the lacuna in the existing banking regime and provide a consolidated framework for the insolvency of companies, limited and unlimited liability partnerships, and individuals.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=http://www.mondaq.com/india/x/506600/Insolvency+Bankruptcy/CrossBorder+Insolvency+Breaking+Down+The+Indian+Insolvency+And+Bankruptcy+Code+2016|title=Cross-Border Insolvency: Breaking Down The Indian Insolvency And Bankruptcy Code, 2016 - Insolvency/Bankruptcy - India|website=www.mondaq.com|access-date=2019-02-04}}</ref>

In January 2019, the Supreme Court of India upheld the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 in its entirety, tossing out a batch of petitions that had challenged the constitutional validity of several provisions, including the one that has barred the promoters of defaulting companies and “connected persons” from bidding for stressed assets.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/business/insolvency-code-passes-supreme-court-muster/cid/1682819|title=Insolvency code passes Supreme Court muster|website=www.telegraphindia.com|language=en|access-date=2019-02-04}}</ref> The Code is being hailed for providing a mechanism for time-bound recovery of dues from insolvent debtors in India and for contributing to the ease of doing business in India.<ref name=":1" /> In the World Bank's latest Doing Business Report (DBR, 2019), India has recorded a jump of 23 positions against its rank of 100 in 2017 to be placed now at 77th rank among 190 countries assessed.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://pib.nic.in/newsite/PrintRelease.aspx?relid=184513|title=India Improves Rank by 23 Positions in Ease of Doing Business|website=pib.nic.in|access-date=2019-02-04}}</ref> In 2014, India had dropped to a dismal 142nd rank in DBR.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/India-drops-to-dismal-142nd-in-ease-of-doing-business-rankings/articleshow/44969091.cms|title=India drops to dismal 142nd in 'ease of doing business' rankings - Times of India|website=The Times of India|access-date=2019-02-04}}</ref>

The IBC Parliamentary Panel also pitched for faster and enhanced payment of workmen dues and employee wages in the corporate insolvency process.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/companies/corporate-insolvency-parliamentary-panel-seeks-better-deal-for-workmen/article8532761.ece|title=Corporate Insolvency: Parliamentary Panel seeks better deal for workmen|last=Srivats|first=K.
