Congress' Milind Deora to join Eknath Shinde-led Sena faction over seat sharing issue? Here's what he said Jyotiraditya Scindia, a former union minister and once one of the most prominent young faces of the Congress party, tendered his resignation from the party's primary membership amidst high political drama in his home state of Madhya Pradesh in March 2020. He was the first of Gandhi's "young brigade" to cut ties with the party. Scindia's resignation came as a jolt to the Congress party whose family's association with it dates back decades as his father Madhav Rao Scindia too served as a union minister under the party's regime.

A three-time Lok Sabha MP, he had also played a key role in the Madhya Pradesh elections in 2018 which the party won. "Having been a primary member of the Congress party for the past 18 years, it is now time for me to move on. I am tendering my resignation from the primary membership of the Indian National Congress and as you well know, this path has been drawing out over the last year.

To reflect and realise the aspirations of my people and my workers I believe that it is best that I now look forward to a fresh start," Scindia said on March 9, 2020. Scindia joined the BJP.
