I pray for the safety of Scindia in BJP: Digvijaya

Bhopal: After Jyotiraditya Scindia joined the BJP, former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on Thursday took a potshot at his former party colleague.

Digvijaya Singh tweeted: "May God keep him safe in BJP. I pray to God to keep Scindia safe in BJP."

Earlier, Singh refuted the charge that Scindia was not given importance in the Congress party. He said, "Gandhi family has always given respect to Madhavrao Scindia and Jyotiraditya Scindia. Even Rahul Gandhi said that his doors were always open for Scindia."

Meanwhile, preparations are afoot at BJP's Bhopal office to welcome Scindia on a grand scale.

Posters, banners have been put up across Bhopal to welcome Scindia to the party.

On Wednesday, Scindia joined the BJP in Delhi in the presence of party president J.P, Nadda.
