Condoling his demise, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal tweeted, “Deeply saddened by the untimely demise of former Delhi MLA Sh Jarnail Singh ji. May God bless his soul. He will always be fondly remembered for his contributions to society." 

Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia in his condolance tweet remembered Singh who fought for justice for the victims of 1984 anti-Sikh riots.
