Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia’s “welcome” remark for the Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra in Madhya Pradesh could be an indication of “homecoming”, an All India Congress Committee (AICC) spokesperson said on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The yatra entered Bodarli village in MP’s Burhanpur district from neighbouring Maharashtra on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
BJP leader Scindia had said, “Everyone is welcome in Madhya Pradesh”, referring to the march on November 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A former member of the Indian National Congress (INC), Scindia left the party in March 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It could be an indication of ‘ghar wapsi’,” Kuldeep Singh Rathore the former Himachal Pradesh Congress Committee (HPCC) president said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asserting that highest ever voting in assembly polls in the hill state is a clear indication of change as people were unhappy with the BJP-led state government, he said, adding that the Congress would form the government in Himachal Pradesh with a clear majority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The script of BJP’s defeat was written when it lost three Assembly elections and one Lok Sabha by-election last year after the Congress highlighted price rise, inflation and non-governance as major issues which dominated the polls, Rathore added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new chief minister of Himachal Pradesh will be decided by the MLAs and party high command, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the question of horse trading, Rathore said, “The practice is very much possible, but we have full trust in the integrity of our members.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He called upon the party leaders to remain disciplined, adding that there are many more challenges to face.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
