Jyotiraditya won't get respect from BJP: Rahul
March 12, 2020 17:49
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said Jyotiraditya Scindia forgot his ideology as he was apprehensive about his political future and that he would not get respect in the BJP.
Talking about Scindia's move to the BJP ending his long association with the Congress, Gandhi said there is a difference between what Scindia is saying and what is in his heart. Gandhi told reporters outside Parliament that Scindia was an old friend of his and had forgotten his ideology as he was apprehensive about his political future. Scindia would not get respect in the BJP, nor would he feel satisfied there, the former Congress chief said.
On the government's reaction to coronavirus, Gandhi said Narendra Modi was sleeping at the wheel. "Coronavirus seriously affecting economy; it is already too late but govt should take measures to minimise damage."
A day after quitting the Congress, Scindia joined the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday in the presence of its president JP Nadda and slammed his former party for "denying reality" and "not acknowledging" new thoughts and new leadership. Scindia has been named as the BJP's Rajya Sabha candidate from Madhya Pradesh. PTI
