After Jyotiraditya Scindia, another Congress leader could soon join BJP

The BJP is also in need of articulate lawyers and politicians to put forth its case

Ripe for the picking

There is a strong buzz in the power corridors that a Congress politician who is also a noted lawyer could quit the party and switch over to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The lawyer-politician is considered close to Jyotiraditya Scindia. According to sources, he considered Scindia’s father, Madhavrao Scindia, his mentor, and had joined politics under the latter’s tutelage. Now that Jyotiraditya has joined the BJP, has been nominated to the Rajya Sabha, and might even get a Cabinet portfolio at the Centre, the lawyer-politician has reasons to believe his interests would be protected in the BJP
