“The two most powerful warriors are patience and time- Leo Tolstoy”, Mr Gandhi posted while re-tweeting his previous tweet along with a photograph of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath and Mr Scindia.
The former Congress president, however, did not utter a word over the rebellion of Mr Scindia and his subsequent step to join the BJP.
Mr Gandhi had posted the original tweet on December 13, 2018, after the grand old party appointed Mr Kamal Nath as Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister, days after the assembly polls.
It is known that Mr Scindia was unhappy over appointment of Mr Nath. Hhowever, according to party sources, the party high command asked him to wait for his time to turn on.
The Scindia scion on Tuesday resigned from the Congress party after meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah and had sent his resignation letter to Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
On Wednesday, he joined BJP in the presence of saffron party president JP Nadda in a function at the BJP headquarters.
Apparently, Mr Kamal Nath’s government is blink of collapse as many as 19 MLAs were flown to BJP-ruled Karnataka in support of Mr Scindia.
Almost 12 MLAs, however, on Wednesday, said that they are not ready to join the BJP and they were supporting Mr Scindia only.
The BJP on Wednesday nominated Jyotiraditya Scindia to the Rajya Sabha from Madhya Pradesh for March 26 election.
