NEW DELHI, Mar 11: A day after resigning from the Congress, Jyotiraditya Scindia joined the BJP today in presence of the ruling party’s president JP Nadda and hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his leadership, saying the country’s future is secure in his hands.
Welcoming him into the BJP, Nadda recalled the party’s founder and Jyotiraditya’s grandmother Vijaya Raje Scindia and said, “he is joining his family and we welcome him.”
Thanking Prime Minister, Home Minister Amit Shah and Nadda, Scindia said they have given him the platform to serve the people.
“Pained” and “distressed” for not able to serve the people in his previous organisation, he said the Congress is living in denial and it is not the same party what it used to be.
Hailing Modi for his leadership, Scindia said the country’s future is secure in his hands.
Talking about Madhya Pradesh, the erstwhile Congress leader said the dream which he saw with his former colleagues for the State has been shattered in the last 18 months.
According to sources, the BJP is likely to name him as one of its candidates for the Rajya Sabha polls in Madhya Pradesh and is also confident of forming the Government in the State with his help as 22 MLAs including Scindia’s supporters have resigned from the State Assembly reducing the Kamal Nath Government to a minority.(PTI)
