22 rebel MP Cong MLAs meet BJP chief in Scindia's presence


New Delhi, Mar 21 (IANS): Twenty-two Congress legislators, including six ministers, who earlier tendered their resignations amid a political crisis in Madhya Pradesh as Jyotiraditya Scindia jumped ship to BJP, met BJP Presidnet J.P. Nadda on Saturday.

All the 22 Congress MLA's are expected to take primary membership of the Bharatiya Janata Party.

Jyotiraditya Scindia was present at the moment when they met Nadda. Apart from him, two key leaders of Madhya Pradesh -- Narendra Tomar and Kailash Vijayvargiya were also present.

After the 22 MLAs deserted the Kamal Nath government, the veteran Congress leader resigned from his post just ahead of a crucial floor test.

It all started with Scindia's disenchantment with the Congress. In his resignation letter to Congress' interim President Sonia Gandhi, Scindia wrote: "While my aim and purpose remain the same as it has always been from the very beginning, to serve the people of my state and country, I believe I am unable to do this anymore within this party."

He even accused his former party of living in denial.

    There should be a new law saying elected candidates from a party cannot leave their party once they won the election. If they dont want to stay in their party they can resign but they cannot join other party until next election . What is happening now is betrayal of voter mandate. And they shoud remove all these indipendents.

    Also any elected government- both state and centre, may be given a chance to complete it's full term of 5 years eventhough it lost the majority. There will be fair and free election every 5 years.

    "I believe I am unable to do this anymore within this party."

    If you had any shame Mr.Scindia, you should have first apologized to the people who voted you, and then submitted you resignation. You have no right to hop from one tree to the other once the people elevated you to that position. Leave politics, seek fresh ticket during next elections and win. This is what you should do, not take along the remaining beggars too with you on your betrayal journey.

    If you truly want to serve people then be like Mother Theresa and be loyal to your constitutional oath. You don't have to be in any political party and aspire high position. Serve the people not to be served by the people.
