'Traitors', 'Rs 8,000 crore debt': Scindia attacks ex-Congress colleagues

Member of Parliament and leader of Bharatiya Janata Party, Jyotiraditya Scindia, trained his guns at senior leaders of the Indian National Congress party in Madhya Pradesh.

Scindia, who was a Congressman himself before quitting in March, accused ex-MP Chief Minister Kamal Nath and Digvijaya Singh of leaving behind a debt of Rs 8,000 crore for successor Shivraj Chouhan of the BJP.

Scindia also brought up Congress' pre-poll promise of waiving all farm loans within 10 days of coming to power.

He said that the vow remained unfulfilled even in 15 months.

Madhya Pradesh is set to see bypolls to 27 Assembly seats.

The election will be held along with the Assembly polls in Bihar, amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

The bypolls were necessitated due to defection of over 20 Congress MLAs led by Scindia to the BJP, and deaths of some legislators.
