Madhya Pradesh Crisis: Why Did Jyotiraditya Scindia Quit Congress?

The Quint  

Matters became even worse for him when his main backer, Rahul Gandhi, quit as Congress president in July 2019. This Congress’ old guard became much stronger and this included Scindia’s main rivals in MP – Kamal Nath and Digvijay Singh. Scindia on his part, gave a number of rather public hints regarding his disaffection – such as his support for the Narendra Modi government’s move against Article 370 or by removing the Congress party from his Twitter bio. The last straw came last month, when Kamal Nath once again scuttled Scindia’s demands of being nominated to the Rajya Sabha or being made chief of the Madhya Pradesh Congress. It has given it a chance to bring down yet another Congress government after Karnataka and it also takes away one of the Congress’ most articulate faces.
