Jyotiraditya Scindia on Wednesday joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in presence of party president JP Nadda, a day after quitting the Congress party. BJP has named Scindia as one of the two nominees for Rajya Sabha from Madhya Pradesh, according to reports. Speculations of Scindia joining the BJP started going around after the former Congress leader met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi on Tuesday. After joining the BJP, Scindia said that his aim has always been to serve people and politics is a means to fulfil that. On Wednesday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi accused Modi of “destabilising” the elected government in Madhya Pradesh.
