I was offered the post of Deputy Chief Minister

-I politely declined the offer

-Claim made by Jyotiraditya Scindia

New Delhi Dated 24th August 2020 Monday

Jyotiraditya Scindia, a senior leader from Madhya Pradesh who became a Rajya Sabha MP after leaving the Congress party and joining the BJP, claimed that the Congress party had offered him the post of Deputy Chief Minister in the state after winning the state assembly elections. I declined the compliment offer.

"I had an estimate that Kamal Nath's government would collapse in twelve to fifteen months and it happened," he said.

Addressing his supporters on Sunday, the second day of the BJP's three-day membership drive in Gwalior, Scindia said, "I was offered the post of Deputy Chief Minister but I had an idea of ​​the future of the government so I turned it down." I realized that in twelve to fifteen months Digvijay Singh and Kamal Nath would get Goto.

Earlier, Digvijay Singh had also said in public that Scindia had been offered the post of Deputy Chief Minister of the state but Scindia wanted to give the post to her disciple. Kamal Nath did not accept Scindia's demand to make Scindia's Chela Deputy Chief Minister. Now that Scindia herself had publicly mentioned the offer of the post of Deputy Chief Minister, Digvijay's statement was confirmed.

In Rajasthan, as in Madhya Pradesh, Sachin Pilot was made the Deputy Chief Minister, but senior leaders like Ashok Gehlot were indirectly ignoring the younger generation and calling the young leaders useless. Eventually, with Sachin Pilot, 18-19 members protested and revolted against the whims of senior leaders. The intervention of Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi led to peace in Rajasthan.
