Prashant Kishor Takes Jibe At Jyotiraditya Scindia Over 'Surname' After His Resignation From Congress.

"Amazing that those who usually find fault with Gandhis leading Congress because of their surname are finding a Scindia leaving INC as big jolt for the party!

Prashant Kishor's Tweet:

Scindia quit Congress after meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah earlier today. Along with him, at least 19 Madhya Pradesh MLAs have also sent their resignation. The resignation could lead to the collapse of Kamal Nath government.

According to reports, Scindia is likely to join Bharatiya Janata Party and he may also get a Rajya Sabha seat. Belonging from erstwhile Gwalior royal family, several members of Scindia's extended family have been in politics.
