But, the Congress leadership claimed that Scindia has no influence in his own region.<\/p>\n<p>A big reason for the Congress\u2019 2018 win was its performance in Scindia\u2019s stronghold \u2014 the Chambal-Gwalior region. The party won 26 of 34 seats; 12 seats in 2013 and 13 in 2008, compared to the BJP\u2019s 20 and 16.<\/p>\n<p>Scindia\u2019s shifting to the BJP in March 2020 led to the fall of Kamal Nath-led Congress government. And for this \u201cbetrayal\u201d, the grand old party called him a\u201dgaddar\u201d (traitor).<\/p>\n<p>The Chambal-Gwalior region has eight districts. Five of these \u2014 Gwalior, Shivpuri, Datia, Ashoknagar, and Guna \u2014 are in the Gwalior region, and three \u2014 Morena, Bhind, and Sheopur \u2014 are in the Chambal region.<\/p>\n<p>With Scindia firmly in the BJP camp \u2014 the saffron party is on a course for a near-clean sweep of Gwalior. The BJP is likely to hold on to the Gwalior (rural) seat and flip the Gwalior (east) and Gwalior (south), as well as Gwalior City and Bhitarwar. Only Dabra seems like it will stay with the Congress.<\/p>\n<p>With the stunning show in the state, Scindia\u2019s supporters want to see him in the CM\u2019s chair. He, however, has said that he was not in the race for the Chief Minister\u2019s post. If Scindia becomes the Chief Minister, it would be a befitting reply to his old party colleagues and two Congress veterans Kamal Nath and Digvijaya Singh.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(IANS)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>(function(d, s, id) {\n    var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n    if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n    js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n    js.src = \"\n    fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n  }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Bhopal: The Bharatiya Janata Party\u2019s massive show in Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections will further strengthen Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia.
