Jyotiraditya Scindia also called the previous government “totally corrupt” (File)
New Delhi:
In a scathing attack on former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Kamal Nath, BJP leader Jyotiraditya Scindia said on Monday that the leaders of Congress were only interested in regaining power and had nothing to do with public service.
Mr Scindia, whose rebellion led to the collapse of the Congressional government led by Nath in March this year, said the BJP would win the next ballots for the assembly seats.
“The leaders of Congress are struggling to get their chair back. They want them to get their chair back anyway. They have nothing to do with public service or with the promises they made to people,” he said. Mr Scindia told reporters.
He was responding to a question about Mr Nath’s statement that Congress would rebound to power after the by-elections.
“I am convinced that the people are with the BJP and that in the next by-elections, these people (the leaders of Congress) will receive a firm response in the people’s court,” said the BJP deputy.
He also called the previous government “totally corrupt, crooked and bogus”.
“I am proud to advance my family traditions like my grandmother (Vijayaraje Scindia) and my father (Madhavrao Scindia) by holding the flag of truth,” he said.
Mr Scindia said he attached no importance to statements made against him following his resignation from Congress.
“It is more important for me to answer people’s questions and my inner voice than it is to answer questions from Nath and other congressional leaders,” said Mr. Scindia.
“During the erstwhile reign of Congress, new records for corruption and breaking people’s promises were set in just 15 months, something I had never seen even in my 20 years in public life. “, did he declare.
