He represented Ujjain seat of Gwalior state in the lower house of parliament before 1952. In 1952, through first general elections, he was elected to the lower House of Parliament, the [[Lok Sabha]], from [[Ujjain]], [[Gwalior State|Gwalior state]], [[Madhya Bharat]], [[India]] as a member of the [[Indian National Congress]].

<br />
==Early life==<br />
Vyas was brought up in humble upbringings, in small village near Shajapur. Having lost his father at an early age of 11 years, raised by his mother and maternal uncle in Shajapur facing acute shortage and poverty, he worked his way up by studying law at Victoria College, Gwalior.<br />
<br />
He had a successful law practice in Khachrod tehsil of Ujjain district which he abandoned after drawing inspiration from Sardar Patel and Mahatma Gandhi, leaving behind his wife and small children who often faced British officers coming for interrogation to their house. During the Quit India movement, he moved his base to Daulatganj, Ujjain and subsequently to Brahmin Gali, Ujjain. In 1948, Mahatma Gandhi's ashes were flown into Ujjain's Holy River Kshipra by him.<br />
After his death in 1966, Congress Party didn't have a leader who had serial victories from Ujjain to Loksabha and Ujjain became a solid bastion of BJP.<ref name="Jones1974">{{cite book|author=Rodney W.
