During the 'Our Constitution, Our Pride' event held in the Parliament building, a captivating image emerged that caught everyone's attention. In the Central Hall, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi encountered Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia. During this encounter, the two leaders exchanged a handshake and engaged in a brief conversation. This entire event unfolded in the presence of Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge.
The image of Rahul Gandhi and Jyotiraditya Scindia shaking hands is rapidly spreading across social media platforms. Although they appear to be in deep conversation, the content of their dialogue has not been revealed.
Once upon a time, Jyotiraditya Scindia and Rahul Gandhi shared a close friendship. Their camaraderie was well-known during the initial days of their political journeys, as both worked dedicatedly to strengthen the party's organization and promote youthful leadership.
Jyotiraditya Scindia played a pivotal role in the Congress's victory during the 2018 Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections. However, tensions arose over the Chief Minister's position between Scindia and Kamal Nath. Scindia was sidelined in the race for this role, causing dissent among his supporters.
Subsequently, in 2020, Jyotiraditya Scindia parted ways with Congress and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He cited neglect of grassroots workers and leadership weaknesses within Congress as reasons for his departure.
