Jyotiraditya Scindia, who was with the Congress for 18 years, left Sonia Gandhi’s party and joined the saffron brigade. With him, 22 loyal leaders also resigned. Now, it goes without saying that he was instrumental in the fall of the Kamal Nath government. So, soon after Choudhan took the oath of the chief minister, he thanked Scindia and the 22 former MLAs who have resigned from the membership and joined BJP on social media. In Hindi he tweeted that Chouhan would never break their confidence.
जिन 22 पूर्व विधायकों ने अपनी पार्टी की सदस्यता त्याग कर @BJP4India की सदस्यता ग्रहण की है, मैं उन साथियों के प्रति आभार प्रकट करता हूँ और उन्हें धन्यवाद देता हूँ।
मैं उन्हें आश्वस्त करता हूँ कि उनकी उम्मीदों पर खरा उतरूंगा और उनके विश्वास को कभी टूटने नहीं दूंगा।
