Jyotiraditya Scindia assumed charge as Union Minister of Communications on June 11 and Ministry of Development of the North Eastern Region on June 12.
A descendant of the former royal family of Gwalior, Scindia severed his ties with the Congress party in 2020 after 18 years and joined the BJP along with his 22 loyalist MLAs in Madhya Pradesh. After joining BJP he was nominated by the party to the Rajya Sabha and entrusted with the responsibility of the Civil Aviation Ministry.
Scindia began his journey in public service in 2002. He has also been a five-term Member of Parliament, which includes four terms in the Lok Sabha (2002-04, 2004-09, 2009-14 and 2014-19), and the current term in the Rajya Sabha, representing the state of Madhya Pradesh.
In the 2024 Lok Sabha polls Jyotiraditya Scindia won from Madhya Pradesh’s Guna Lok Sabha seat with a margin of 540929 votes.
The Guna constituency has been a stronghold of the Scindia family for a long time. His grandmother, Vijaya Raje Scindia, who is fondly remembered as the Rajmata of Gwalior, represented this constituency for four successive terms from 1989 to 1998 as a BJP leader. (ANI)
