It is noteworthy that former Congress MLA Rakesh Mavai is considered a supporter of Jyotiraditya Scindia. When Scindia left Congress and joined BJP, he did not follow Scindia and later became MLA on Congress ticket in the by-elections. However, in the 2023 assembly elections, he was not given a ticket by the party. According to political analysts, this is the reason that Mavai has left Congress and joined BJP.
Paras Singh Rawat follows suit
Former district president of Shivpuri district, Paras Singh Rawat has also left Congress and joined BJP. He too, went to Delhi and took membership of BJP in front of Scindia.
As Lok Sabha elections are inching closer, such defections can prove to be a problem for the grand old party in the Gwalior-Chambal region.
