MP Assembly Election 2018: Jyotiraditya Scindia attacks BJP over VIP culture, says, 'If there is one Maharaj in MP, it is Shivraj'

The Madhya Pradesh assembly election has brought both the national party’s of India, Congress and BJP on toe as the anti-incumbency is eating up the latter and a cadre divide is reeling upon the former.

Jyotiraditya Scindia, who is a member of parliament from Guna constituency in MP, has said that the BJP favors the VIP culture in its own party and cannot serve the state accordingly.

Scindia targeting his own party’s leadership, said that he had suggested that a Chief Ministerial candidate must be announced for the polls but the Cngress high command decided otherwise.

Later on, the Congress party held that either Kamal Nath or Jyotiraditya Scindia would be chosen as the CM if the party comes to power in the state.

This created a rift and divisions amongst the party workers as those loyal to Nath are not campaigning whole heartedly in Scindia’s constituency and its happening vice-versa. The other tall leader of Congress in the state, who has been the chief minister, Digvijay Singh, has been sidelined by Rahul Gandhi led high command of Congress and Singh has been silent over the polls.

Scindia said to The Indian Express, “if at all there is feudalism, it’s not what you are born into; feudalism is a mentality. If there’s one Maharaj in Madhya Pradesh it’s Shivraj Singh Chouhan, he is so cut off from the people. What is it that he wants me to pardon? The butchering of farmers, not providing them (fair) prices, sending wrong electricity bills and sending farmers to jail, for making the state number one in rapes, one crore unemployed youths, for abysmal medical, health and educational facilities?”
