Thakur was elected to the state legislative assembly in 1998 and re-elected in 2003 and 2007 from Chachiot Assembly constituency. In the year 2009, he was inducted to the Council of Ministers and given the portfolio of rural development and panchayati raj. He was once again elected to the state legislative Assembly for a consecutive fourth term in December 2012. In the 2017 Assembly elections, BJP won a two-thirds majority but its chief ministerial candidate Prem Kumar Dhumal who contested from Sujanpur assembly was defeated, following which Thakur was chosen as the chief minister. A day before his birthday, Thakur handed over smartphones to the students of several schools in the state for online education. This was done to facilitate e-learning in schools especially during the pandemic. The phones were donated by the International Association of human values and the Art of Living Foundation.
