It’s good to be on the same team,” she said. Her late brother, a senior Congress leader himself, Madhavrao Scindia, too, was part of the Jana Sangha before leaving the party to join the Congress. Madhavrao Scindia was killed in an unfortunate plane crash in 2001.
Yesterday, his other aunt and senior BJP leader Yashodhara Raje, too, welcomed Scindia even before he formally joined the BJP and called it ‘Ghar Wapasi’.
Scindia resigned from Congress on 9th March, 2020, Monday along with 20 MP Congress MLAs. This has sent shockwaves through Congress. The MP state government is on the verge of a collapse with the developments.
