NEW DELHI: A day after joining BJP, Jyotiraditya Scindia on Thursday called on Home Minister Amit Shah and defence minister Rajnath Singh as the two expressed confidence that his induction will further strengthen the saffron party's resolve to serve the people of Madhya Pradesh.After meeting Scindia, Shah said tweeted: “I am sure his induction into the party will further strengthen BJP's resolve to serve the people of Madhya Pradesh.”Scindia joined BJP on Wednesday in the presence of its president JP Nadda and slammed Congress for “denying reality” and “not acknowledging” new thoughts and new leadership. He had met Prime Minister Narendra Modi a day before his formal induction into the saffrom camp.He has been named as BJP's Rajya Sabha candidate from Madhya Pradesh and is likely to file his nomination papers on Friday.Welcoming Scindia, Singh said his joining will help in further strengthening the party. “Met with Shri Jyotiraditya Scindia today. I welcome him to BJP. His joining will help in further strengthening the party. I extend my best wishes to him in all his endeavours," Singh tweeted.Scindia’s entry is expected to boost BJP in Madhya Pradesh where the party lost the 2018 polls narrowly. BJP’s dismal performance in Scindia’s pocket-borough — Chambal-Gwalior region — was seen to have affected its prospects in forming government for the fourth consecutive time.In Bhopal, a portrait of late Congress stalwart Madhavrao Scindia found a prominent place at the BJP headquarters where a function was organised on Thursday to welcome his son, Jyotiraditya Scindia. Scindia’s portrait was placed next to a bust of 'Rajmata' Vijaya Raje Scindia, Jyotiraditya’s grandmother and one of the founding members of BJP in 1980.
