In 2004, Govinda joined the Congress Party and was elected to the Lok Sabha (the lower house of the Indian parliament) from Mumbai by 50,000 votes over the five-term incumbent.

During the elections, he said his agenda would be prawaas (transportation), swasthya (health) and gyaan (education).
In the field of transportation, he claimed 80% credit for the quadrupling of the Borivali-Virar section of the Western Railway zone.
According to official sources, he made some efforts in the fields of health and education.
The Thane district collector said in an interview that Govinda had committed money from his "local area development fund" (allocated to each MP by the government) to construct anganwadis and solve drinking-water problems in Vasai and Virar but administrative approval was delayed.
