The former Congress leader described the meeting at the residence of the defence minister as a “courtesy call”. After quitting the Congress, Jyotiraditya Scindia joined the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday in the presence of its president JP Nadda and slammed his former party for “denying reality” and “not acknowledging” new thoughts and new leadership. Jyotiraditya Scindia has been named as the BJP’s Rajya Sabha candidate from Madhya Pradesh and will file his nomination for the elections on March 13.

In a dramatic political twist, Scindia joined BJP on Wednesday as he admitted that Congress party is not what it used to be.

Scindia pointed out the flaws in his previous party as he said, “Today’s Congress party is not what it used to be.” He went on to say that the dreams and aspirations he had for Madhya Pradesh after Congress won the 2018 Assembly elections have been shattered since issues like farmer loans and unemployment still persisted. “In the last 18 months, all my dreams have been shattered, promises to farmers have not been fulfilled. Mandsaur victims have not got justice… among poll, the promise was a monthly allowance which hasn’t been fulfilled.”
