[ad_1]
Mr. Gandhi had mentioned Mr. Scindia won’t ever be made CM by BJP, and can now be a backbencher.
BJP chief and Rajya Sabha member Jyotiraditya Scindia on Tuesday got here out with a repartee to former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi’s comment that Mr. Scindia can be by no means made a chief minister by the BJP and would now be a backbencher.
“I wish the kind of concern that Rahulji is expressing now was expressed when I was in the Congress. I won’t say anything more than this,” Mr. Scindia informed reporters exterior the Parliament House.
Mr. Gandhi made the comment whereas addressing the nationwide govt of the Indian Youth Congress (IYC)within the capital on Monday. “He [Mr. Scindia] would have become the chief minister had he stayed with the Congress but he has become a backbencher in the BJP. He could have worked with workers to strengthen the organisation. I had told him that ‘one day you will become the chief minister’ but he chose another route,” a supply quoted Mr. Gandhi as saying. “Write it down, he will never become chief minister there,” he added. He appealed to the IYC members to work tirelessly no matter “who comes in or who leaves the party”.
Collapse of Kamal Nath-led govt
Last March, Mr. Scindia’s switch to the BJP from the Congress, together with 22 of his supporters who have been lawmakers within the Madhya Pradesh Assembly, triggered the collapse of the Kamal Nath-led authorities.
Both Mr. Scindia and Mr. Gandhi, thought-about to be shut mates at one level, rigorously averted sharp phrases in opposition to one another.
While the Congress-turned-BJP chief merely refused to comment on the Gandhis, Mr. Gandhi went solely so far as saying that he [Mr Scindia] wouldn’t be given the form of respect he loved within the Congress.
The Congress’s alternative of chief ministers after successful the Assembly polls in MP, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh in December 2018 mirrored the celebration’s outdated guard versus younger turks tussle.
Though Mr. Gandhi was the celebration president then, his chief ministerial choice of Mr. Scindia and Sachin Pilot for Rajasthan was “vetoed” by senior leaders with the backing of his mom and incumbent Congress chief, Sonia Gandhi.
Aware of the background politics that was at play, Pankaj Chaturvedi, a former Congress spokesperson in MP and a Scindia loyalist, took a recent dig at Mr Gandhi. “Rahul ji You already have these 3 options. who can be the chief ministers @SachinPilot in rajasthan @TS_SinghDeo ji in Chhattisgarh and @sherryontopp in Punjab. @RahulGandhi sir when r u doing this,” he tweeted.
