Himanta welcomes Jyotiraditya to BJP, says “Will have a great time”

March 11: On the day of Holi, the festival of colours, Assam Finance Minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma welcomed Jyotiraditya Scindia into the party, saying they will have a “great time together”. Taking to twitter, Himanta wrote, “A great #Holi this is! Heartening to see old colleague, & very dynamic Sri @JM_Scindia having come to the fold of @BJP4India, a party that’s a rangoli of all colors & believes in taking everyone along. We shall have a great time together #JyotiradityaScindia ji.#MadhyaPradesh.”

Mr Scindia was expelled by the Congress on Tuesday after he sent a resignation letter to Sonia Gandhi and flew out 17 loyalist MLAs to Bengaluru yesterday, bringing the Kamal Nath government in Madhya Pradesh to the brink of collapse. The group, along with three others, said they e-mailed their resignation letters. Mr Scindia, who met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah today, is expected to join the BJP.

After quitting Congress in 2017, Himanta Biswa Sarma had squarely blamed Rahul Gandhi, claiming that he would not have taken the final step had Mr Gandhi had not paid more “attention” to his pet than him (Mr Sarma) when he went to meet the then Congress vice president in Delhi.
