Scindia won't get respect in BJP, says old friend Rahul Gandhi

While talking about Jyotiraditya Scindia’s exit from Congress, Rahul Gandhi on Thursday (March 12) said Scindia forgot his ideology as he was apprehensive about his political future and that he would not get respect in the BJP.

Talking about his old friend’s move to the BJP ending his long association with the Congress, Gandhi said there is a difference between what Scindia is saying and what is in his heart.

Gandhi told reporters that Scindia would not feel satisfied in BJP.

A day after quitting the Congress, 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.

Scindia has been named as the BJP’s Rajya Sabha candidate from Madhya Pradesh.
