Tomar represented the Muraina Lok Sabha constituency from 2009 to 2014 and was elected from the Gwalior constituency in the 16th Lok Sabha from 2014 to 2019.

In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, he was once again elected from Muraina. His political career began as a student leader when he was elected as the President of the Government College Murar Students’ Union in 1979-80. He later served as a councillor in the Gwalior Municipal Corporation from 1983 to 1987 and became the State Vice President of the BJP Youth Federation in Madhya Pradesh from 1986 to 1990.
