Jyotiraditya Scindia, Once Close Gandhi Aide, Joins BJP In "Fresh Start"

Jyotiraditya Scindia, one of Rahul Gandhi's closest aides, joined the BJP today, ending his 18-year association with the Congress, the party of his father. His exit along with 21 Madhya Pradesh MLAs, endangers the Congress in a major state where it had come to power just 15 months ago. On Tuesday, as Holi was celebrated across the country, Jyotiraditya Scindia drove his SUV to Home Minister Amit Shah's home, from where the two together went to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home. Immediately after the meeting, he tweeted his resignation letter to Congress president Sonia Gandhi, talking about a "fresh start". He was welcomed today to the BJP headquarters with a hug by Jay Panda, another recent BJP recruit, who quit the BJD last year.
