He was twice the chief minister of the state from 29 January 1972 to 22 March 1972 and 23 March 1972 to 22 December 1975.[4]

Sethi was respected by the people of Indore and nation for his work.[5][6]

During his tenure in the central government, Sethi was elected from the Indore constituency. He also held a number of positions in the Central Government of India - Home Minister, Defense Minister, Minister of External Affairs, Finance Minister, Railways, and Housing and Development.[7][8]
