===1984 Lok Sabha Election===
* Madhavrao Scindia (Congress) : 307,735
* Atal Bihari Vajpayee (BJP) : 132,141

Political sources claim that Scindia had told Vajpayee that he would be contesting from Guna, but changed his seat very late. The sympathy wave for Congress was so strong that Vajpayee could have lost the election in any case, but Scindia's candidacy made his defeat certain. Jana Sangh / BJP had won this seat even in the Indira waves of 1971 and 1980.<ref>{{cite web |title=1984 India General (8th Lok Sabha) Elections Results |url=http://www.elections.in/parliamentary-constituencies/1984-election-results.html |website=www.elections.in |access-date=5 January 2021}}</ref>

===1971 Lok Sabha Election===
* Atal Bihari Vajpayee (BJP) : 188,995
* Gautam Sharma (Congress) : 118,685

===1952 Lok Sabha Election===
'''General Elections 1952'''
Vi Gha Deshpande (Hindu Mahasabha) won from both Gwalior and Guna. He retained Guna seat, and resigned from Gwalior. The by-election for Gwalior seat was won by N B Khare, also of Hindu Maha Sabha. In 1930s, Khare had been Chief Minister (called 'Premier' in those days) of Central Province as a Congress politician. But he left the party later.
