Not in the race for MP chief ministership, says Jyotiraditya

July 02, 2013 12:01

Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia has said that he is not in the race to become the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh and has ruled out contesting the upcoming assembly polls there.

"I have no plans to contest the assembly elections from Madhya Pradesh and would remain as Member of Parliament. However, Congress will come back to power in the State. I am a worker of the Congress and I do not think that I am in the race," Scindia said.

With Madhya Pradesh slated to go for assembly elections later this year, Congress General Secretary and former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Digvijay Singh have recently said that Scindia is the front-runner for the post of Chief Minister, if Congress emerges victorious.
