Jyotiraditya Scindia, who quit the Congress party on Tuesday, has finally joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) today. After months of speculations, Scindia parted ways with the grand old party following infighting over various issues with the Kamal Nath-led government. To add to the woes of the Congress party, Scindia will likely take around 22 MLAs with him, who also will join the saffron party. With one of the most important leaders of the Congress party coming to the BJP fold, the Shivraj Singh Chauhan-led party in Madhya Pradesh looks all set to form the government in the state.
