Scindia walked out of Congress along with 22 state legislators, pushing the Congress-led government in Madhya Pradesh on the brink of collapse. (Express photo: Ravish Tiwari)
Expressing that he was “hurt and distressed” in his previous organisation, Scindia said the Congress is no longer that party it used to be. He added that the country’s future is totally secure in PM Modi’s hands. (Express photo: Tashi Tobgyal)
Scindia’s charisma and family legacy could help the BJP consolidate its support base in the Gwalior-Chambal region, where the Congress still has some stronghold constituencies. (Express photo: Tashi Tobgyal)
In a veiled attack on the Kamal Nath-led Congress government, Scindia also said, “the dream we saw for Madhya Pradesh has been shattered in 18 months.” (Express photo: Tashi Tobgyal)
Minutes after the press conference, the BJP announced that Scindia along with Harsh Chauhan of the Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram will be its two nominees for the Rajya Sabha polls from Madhya Pradesh. (Express photo: Tashi Tobgyal)
