Lok Sabha MP from Assam Gaurav Gogoi on Wednesday said that Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia joining BJP will not have any impact in the party.

He also criticized Scindia for quitting Congress at a time when he was needed to fight “BJP’s communal politics.”

Stating that Scindia got everything from the party, Gogoi said, “What did he not get in Congress! He earned respect, a ministerial position as well as he was a member of the Congress Working Committee.”

Gogoi also criticized the BJP for playing politics against peoples mandate.

“People of Madhya Pradesh had rejected Shivraj Singh Chauhan government and opts Congress government in place. And BJP now wants to destabilise the Congress government,” said Gogoi.
