Jyotiraditya Scindia put ideology in pocket and joined RSS: Rahul Gandhi

New Delhi/IBNS: Speaking in public for the first time on his close aide Jyotiraditya Scindia's exit from the Congress party, Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said the former Union Minister and Lok Sabha MP abandoned his ideology and joined the RSS but he will not get respect there.

"This is a fight of ideology, clear cut. On one side is Congress and the BJP-RSS on the other. I know Jyotiraditya Scindia's ideology, he was with me in college, I know him very well. He got worried about his political future, and hence, put his ideology in his pocket and went with the RSS," Rahul Gandhi told reporters.

Rahul said Scindia is saying things very different from what is there in his heart.

Scindia, once very close to the Gandhis, joined the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday after parting ways with the Congress.

"He will neither get respect there nor the emotion in his heart will get satisfaction," said Rahul.

Earlier on Wednesday, hours after Scindia joined the Bharatiya Janata Party, Rahul Gandhi retweeted an old photo which had him, Scindia and Madhya Pradesh CM Kamal Nath in the same frame holding hands.

The tweet was of the time when Scindia lost his prospect of bagging the chief ministership to senior leader Kamal Nath in Dec 2018.

Despite playing a key role in Madhya Pradesh Assembly election he could not muster the support of enough MLAs for the CM's position.

Then Congress chief Rahul Gandhi managed the situation by naming Scindia general secretary in charge of Uttar Pradesh for last year's national election, along with his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.

Soon after the decision, Rahul had tweeted this photo along with the caption: "The two most powerful warriors are patience and time. - Leo Tolstoy."

Scindia resigned as the Congress leader on Tuesday amid his differences with the party's top brass.
