During the 1960s, the Beawar Congress was torn by strife between Sharma and Chiman Singh Lodha (nick-named 'B' and 'C', respectively). The internal problems of the Congress Party led to an electoral defeat in the 1962 election. Sharma, who contested as the official Congress candidate, finished second with 9,575 votes (30.48%). He lost the seat to the communist candidate Swami Kumaranand. Sharma finished second in the 1967 election as well, with 14,187 votes (34.15%).
