| Scindia springs surprise | | |
Jyotiraditya Scindia, close confidant of the former Congress president Rahul Gandhi, saying goodbye to the Grand Old Party in Madhya Pradesh has shaken the Congress. Jyotiraditya Scindia has taken 22 MLAs along with him and has left the Congress government in Madhya Pradesh in minority. The fall of the one year old Congress dispensation led by Kamal Nath in Madhya Pradesh looks inevitable. No one expected Scindia to quit Congress as he stood with Rahul Gandhi during his tough times and provided him with all the possible support. It looks like that Rahul has been vindicated. He has been repeatedly saying that young leaders need to be given a chance and old guards need to be replaced. But no one in the Congress listened to him. Not even his mother. The Congress can face a similar situation in Rajasthan, where the party 18 months ago had preferred Ashok Gehlot over Sachin Pilot as the Chief Minister of the State. However, Pilot was pacified by the Congress high command by giving him the Deputy Chief Minister’s post. In Madhya Pradesh Scindia was sidelined completely by Kamal Nath and Digvijay Singh on the pretext that he lost his parliamentary seat in 2019 general elections. The rebellions which Congress party is witnessing almost everywhere are clear signs about old guards being in no mood to give an opportunity to the young leaders, who mostly belong to Rahul Gandhi’s camp. Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath and his partner Digvijay Singh are being accused of dictating terms to the Congress leaders in the MP. The mutiny which the party is witnessing is the direct fallout of the wrong policies of the two old Congress leaders. Scindia meeting the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, Home Minister, Amit Shah and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president J P Nadda is making everyone believe that he may get a Rajya Sabha berth and could be also inducted into the union cabinet. One of the reasons for Scindia to leave the Congress could be that the MP Chief Minister and Digvijay Singh were opposing his entry into Rajya Sabha and were in no mood to give him a chance. Scindia, who belongs to a royal family, seems to have hit a six on the last ball of the one-day match by taking 22 MLAs along with him. In fact he has pushed Kamal Nath and Singh on the back foot for sidelining him. The Congress is once again in dire straits as is all set to lose power in Madhya Pradesh. |
