Political leader and former Member of Parliament Jyotiraditya M Scindia has removed any mention of his party, the Indian National Congress, from his Twitter bio.
“A month back I had changed my bio on Twitter. On people's advice I had made my bio shorter. Rumours regarding this are baseless,” he told news agency ANI.
Later, Scindia reiterated in a tweet, calling the chaos over his bio change a ridiculous commotion over a twitter profile change done almost a month ago.
Scindia’s bio now reads, “Public servant, cricket enthusiast.”
This comes as 20 Congress MLAs considered close to Jyotiraditya Scindia have been “missing and unreachable” for two days, according to Navbharat Times.
In October this year, Scindia had handed in his resignation from the post of General Secretary of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) in Madhya Pradesh.
He has expressed displeasure over the happenings in the fragmented MP Congress unit and said making a “new Madhya Pradesh” should be everyone’s ultimate goal.
Scindia, who has been Union minister of power and was a top contender for the post of MP CM, is now involved in an power struggle against with the factions led by Congress leader Digvijaya Singh and current CM Kamal Nath.
