Jyotiraditya Scindia joins BJP, Rajya Sabha nomination likely

After formally announcing his resignation from the Congress on Tuesday, Jyotiraditya Scindia on Wednesday joined the BJP in the presence of party chief JP Nadda. However, Scindia’s move to BJP has reportedly not sat well with the MLAs loyal to him who also resigned on Tuesday.

According to key sources in the Madhya Pradesh Congress, party leaders in touch with the 19 MLAs in Bengaluru claim that at least 12 of them including two ministers were not in favour of Scindia joining the BJP.

They wanted Scindia to form a new party like his father Madhavrao did in 1996 instead of joining the BJP.

It’s perhaps this development which has made the Congress confident of proving its majority on the floor of the house during the Vidhan Sabha budget session starting on March 16.

“All of you just focus on floor test in the House and you will then come to know that we will easily have the necessary numbers. Just wait and watch, we won’t disclose more,” said former MP Congress president Arun Yadav.
