Jairam Ramesh, Congress General Secretary in-charge Communications, targeted Jyotiraditya Scindia, and said that the Union Minister will lose the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections in the same manner that he lost the 2019 general elections.
ANi reported that the Congress leader passed the remark in Guna district on Monday after arriving in the state as part of the Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra.
When asked if a Congress candidate from the Guna constituency would be able to unseat Scindia, Ramesh responded, “The way Jyotiraditya Scindia lost elections in 2019, he will lose the same way in 2024 as well.”
Notably, Union Minister Scindia from the Guna constituency was included on the initial list of 195 candidates the BJP issued on Saturday for the Lok Sabha elections.
In 2020, Scindia left the Congress to become a member of the BJP.
Meanwhile, Jairam Ramesh discussed the significance of the RJD’s Jan Vishwas Maha Rally in Patna on Sunday. Political earthquakes originate in Patna, the political epicenter.
“Main faces of the INDIA alliance were there and it (Jan Vishwas Maharally) had only one message that the INDIA alliance meant justice for the farmer and youth, freedom from unemployment, from economic disparities and freedom from social polarisation. It was an important rally. Patna is the centre of politics. ‘Rajnitik Bhookamp sab Patna se hi shuru hote hai (political earthquakes start from there). Kabhi kabhi palti bhi ho jata hai waha, waha palti ke bhi ustaad hai’ (referring to Bihar CM Nitish Kumar switching sides to BJP from RJD),” Jairam Ramesh said.
