Jyotiraditya Scindia, who secured 5 lakh 35 thousand 728 votes in the 2002 Lok Sabha by-election, defeated him by 4 lakh 6 thousand 568 votes. Then Deshraj Singh Yadav could get only 1 lakh 29 thousand 160 votes.

Rao family's elder son Yadvendra Singh is in the fray against BJP leader Jyotiraditya Scindia.
Now once again the same equations have come to the fore. Yadvendra Singh, the eldest son of the Rao family, is in the fray against BJP leader Jyotiraditya Scindia. Yadvendra Singh Yadav is bent on avenging his father's defeat.
Why did Yadvendra Singh leave BJP?
Just before the 2023 assembly elections, Yadvendra Singh left BJP and joined Congress under the leadership of Kamal Nath. At that time Yadvendra Singh had said that “ever since Jyotiraditya Scindia and his supporters have joined BJP, the workers are being harassed, the area is being neglected”… Yadvendra Singh said that now this party no longer exists. Is. Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
Congress gave ticket to Yadvendra Singh Yadav from Mungawali Assembly seat.
Congress has fielded Yadvendra Singh Yadav from Mungawali assembly seat. Yadvendra Yadav pitted against Rao Brijendra Singh Yadav, a supporter of Jyotiraditya Scindia. Yadvendra Yadav lost the election by just 5422 votes. Scindia supporter Rao Brijendra Singh was elected MLA.
Political history of Rao family

Younger brother Ajay Pratap Singh is the District Panchayat President.

Yadav is vote bank on parliamentary seat
Yadav vote bank has a lot of influence on Guna Lok Sabha seat. There are more than 3 lakh Yadav voters in the Lok Sabha constituency which is more than 18% of the total voters. With the help of Yadav vote bank, Congress is making a strategy to corner Jyotiraditya Scindia. However, Brijendra Singh Yadav and Mahendra Yadav from the Yadav community are MLAs from Mungawali and Kolaras, two assembly seats of Guna Lok Sabha constituency. Both are considered Scindia supporters. In such a situation, the unity of Yadav vote bank raises questions for Yadvendra Singh.
