MP crisis: Rahul retweets old photo with Scindia and Kamal Nath

New Delhi/IBNS: Hours after former Union Minister and four-term Lok Sabha MP Jyotiraditya Scindia joined the Bharatiya Janata Party, Congress leader 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."

This comes on a day when Scindia, who was the confidante of Rahul Gandhi, was inducted to BJP in presence of the party's national president Jagat Prakash Nadda.

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