New Delhi: A day after quitting the Indian National Congress, senior leader and former Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on March 11.
BJP National President JP Nadda and Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament (MP) Vinay Sahasrabuddhe, among others, were present at the induction ceremony at the party headquarters.
Scindia had tendered his resignation from the party on March 10, stating that he wanted to “look ahead at a fresh start” to “reflect and realise” the aspirations of “my people and my workers”.
The development came right after Scindia’s meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
After joining Jyotiraditya Scindia’s Bajp, the party’s national president JP Nadda said that today is a matter of great happiness for all of us and today I am remembering our senior-most leader late Rajmata Scindia. Both the Bharatiya Jana Sangh and the BJP have been a major contributor to the ideology from the founding and establishment of the party. Jyotiraditya ji is joining his family today, I welcome him and also extend my warm greetings.
