Excerpt: Jyotiraditya Scindia Played Key Role In This Major Congress Debacle Excerpt: Jyotiraditya Scindia Played Key Role In This Major Congress Debacle Cover of Rasheed Kidwai's book 'The House of Scindias: A Saga of Power, Politics and Intrigue' Prior to Jyotiraditya's exit from the grand old party, the period between 2013 and 2019 saw many Congress leaders leaving the party. In one particularly high-profile case, Jyotiraditya was himself responsible for the exit of Priyanka Chaturvedi, who was a young and suave Congress spokesperson and is currently a Rajya Sabha member from the Shiv Sena. Jyotiraditya's 'inapt' handling of the Chaturvedi issue and his own subsequent move to leave the Congress made some senior party leaders bitter on grounds of depriving the party from a 'talented' Chaturvedi.
