Jyotiraditya Scindia’s exit from the Congress has led to some churn within the party, especially from the young brigade that is sending messages to the leadership on the top.

Another young Congress leader, Kuldeep Bishnoi from Haryana, had earlier said that party leadership should have done more to convince Scindia to stay.

He was a central pillar in the party & the leadership should’ve done more to convince him to stay. Like him, there are many other devoted INC leaders across the country who feel alienated, wasted & discontented. India’s oldest party needs to empower young leaders who have the capacity to work hard & resonate with the masses,” Bishnoi had tweeted on Tuesday, shortly after Scindia posted his resignation letter.

Scindia quit the Congress party after 18 years, blaming his decision on the inertia and denial mode it is living in. “Today’s Congress party is not the same as it used to be,” Scindia said as he jouined the Bharatiya Janata Party on Wednesday.

The Harvard and Stanford University-educated Scindia has been the Congress’ pillar of strength not just in Madhya Pradesh but in the Centre as well. He was one of its top assets in Parliament as well as the organisation.

During the UPA government, Scindia was inducted in the Union council of ministers first as the minister of state for communications and information technology in 2008. A year later, in the second UPA government, the young Scindia was given the charge of Commerce and Industry as the minister of state.
