Mehta belongs to Bihar and has been active in the state's politics through the Rashtriya Janata Dal, a party founded by Lalu Prasad Yadav in 1997. He is associated with the Kushwaha (Koeri) community, a section of the backward classes that forms an important constituency in Bihar politics.
Mehta has contested elections to the Bihar Legislative Assembly and has served as a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) representing constituencies in northern Bihar. Within the RJD organisation, he has held senior positions, including roles connected to the party's state-level leadership.
He has also been associated with the party's parliamentary engagements during phases when the RJD was part of the ruling coalition in Bihar. During the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance) government formed in Bihar, Mehta was among the legislators who supported the alliance's legislative agenda.
As a long-standing functionary of the Rashtriya Janata Dal, Mehta represents the party's outreach among the Other Backward Classes (OBC) communities in Bihar. His career reflects the broader trajectory of Mandal-era politics in the state, in which regional parties built their base around social justice platforms and OBC mobilisation.
