In the 2019 elections, Scindia, then a Congress candidate, lost to BJP's Krishna Pal Singh by a margin of 10.65%. Despite this setback, the Scindia family has a storied history in Guna, with Jyotiraditya's grandmother, Vijaya Raje Scindia, representing the area as a BJP member from 1989 to 1998.
Jyotiraditya's father also held the Guna seat as a Congress member from 1971 to 1980 and later in 1999, before his death in 2001. Following his father's demise, Jyotiraditya Scindia joined Congress and won the by-election in 2002 against BJP’s Desh Singh Yadav. He maintained his hold on the constituency in subsequent elections in 2004, 2009, and 2014, while serving in various ministerial roles, including telecommunications, commerce and industry, and power.
