In 2019, he changed his constituency and was re-elected to the Lok Sabha from Morena.

Early life and education

He is married to Kiran Tomar, with whom he has two sons and a daughter. He was nicknamed as Munna Bhaiya by Babulal Gaur.

Political career

Tomar was appointed Union Cabinet Minister of Steel, Mines, Labour and Employment on 27 May 2014 in the cabinet headed by Narendra Modi. He was administered the oath of office and sworn in on 26 May 2014 by Pranab Mukherjee, the President of India.

On 5 July 2016, during the second cabinet reshuffle of the Narendra Modi ministry, Birender Singh replaced him as the Steel Minister and he replaced Birender Singh as the Minister of Panchayati Raj, Rural Development and Drinking Water and Sanitation. Piyush Goyal replaced Narendra Singh Tomar as the Minister of Mines (Minister of State with Independent charge).

On 18 September 2020, Tomar was assigned the additional charge of the Ministry of Food Processing Industries after Harsimrat Kaur Badal resigned from the post.

In the 2023 Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly election, Tomar contesting for Dimani defeated Bahujan Samaj Party's Balveer Singh Dandotiya by a margin of 24,000. Arjun Munda succeeded Tomar as the Minister of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare in December 2023.
