Jyotiraditya Scindia has betrayed the trust of people: Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot

NEW DELHI: In a massive setback for the Congress, its prominent youth leader Jyotiraditya Scindia quit the party and appeared set to join BJP Tuesday amid a rebellion in Madhya Pradesh by his supporters, pushing the 15-month-old Kamal Nath government to the brink of collapse.His resignation stirred the politics in Madhya Pradesh triggering a host of political reactions. Here is a look at how various political leaders reacted to the news of Scindia quitting the Congress —There is nothing to worry about, we will prove our majority. Our government will complete its term.For some Congress leaders when Scindia ji was in Congress he was a Maharaja, now he is a mafia? These are their double standards.We have evidence that three chartered planes (which reportedly flew Congress MLAs to Bengaluru) were arranged by the BJP. This is part of a conspiracy to reverse the mandate of people of Madhya Pradesh because Kamal Nath has acted against mafias.So yes it will indeed be a loss to our party and I don't think our government in Madhya Pradesh will survive. This is the present-day politics of BJP, always tries to topple and destabilize opposition governments. Scindia ji held many senior posts in Congress party and was well respected, maybe he got lured by the offer of ministership given by Modi ji. We know his family has been associated with BJP for decades yet it is a big loss.Meeting (legislative part meet) was good. All Congress MLAs, including independents, were present. We have the number, we'll fight this together. MLAs who were rounded up were told that Scindia ji has to demand a Rajya Sabha seat so they need to come together. But when the talks of him (Jyotiraditya Scindia) going to BJP started, these MLAs became angry. They are all in contact with the chief minister. The government has no threat, we will prove the majority in the Assembly.Scindia has betrayed the trust of people as well as the ideology. Such people prove that they can't thrive without power. Sooner they leave the better. Joining hands with the BJP in a time of national crisis speaks volumes about a leader's self-indulgent political ambitions, especially when the BJP is ruining the economy, democratic institutions, social fabric and as well the judiciary.How many leaders are they going to expel? If they continue expelling their leaders like this, soon the day will come when only Sonia and Rahul Gandhi will be left in the Congress.Congress is ready to fight back if the need arises. We have 94 MLAs, nobody can break the morale of the party.I am very happy and congratulate him. This is 'ghar vapasi'. Madhavrao Scindia had started his political career with Jan Sangh. Jyotiraditya was being neglected in Congress.The state government is strong and it will continue to run. The government is not going to fall because someone is saying so. We have required number of MLAs.I have resigned from the Congress as well as from the membership of State Assembly. I have joined BJP. Most of the Congress MLAs will resign from the Congress in coming days as they are fed up with the functioning of Kamal Nath government.I am not surprised that Jyotiraditya Scindia resigned from Congress and will join BJP. I feel he will be sent to Rajya Sabha and inducted into Union cabinet. His father Madhavrao Scindia would have been Prime Minister if he were lived.I have come to Bhopal with the resignations of 19 MLAs who are currently in Bengaluru. The number can increase till 30 by evening as many people are willing to join BJP.
