In a surprising turn of events, Congress’ <keyword id="29632" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jyotiraditya-Scindia">Jyotiraditya Scindia</keyword> is trailing behind from the Guna Lok Sabha seat in Madhya Pradesh. His former ally and BJP Candidate <keyword id="1549786" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="KP-Yadav">KP Yadav</keyword> is leading in the seat. According to the Election Commission, Yadav has a 53.59% vote share whereas Scindia has a 40.44% vote share. Guna has been the homeground for Scindia as his family has been winning elections from the seat for 30 years. Scindia, who belongs to the royal family of Gwalior, himself has won the seat 4 times and has been in power since 2002. The senior Congress leader was also considered to be a contender for the <keyword id="6355553" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="MP">MP</keyword> Chief Minister’s post. With Scindia’s appointment as the All India Congress Committee general secretary in-charge for western Uttar Pradesh, his wife Priyadarshini Scindia was leading the election campaign for Scindia. Meanwhile, Yadav was a close confidante of Scindia, who had gone to join the BJP and is contesting for the first time from Guna. Yadav had left the Congress after a fallout for the party for having not got a seat during the assembly elections.

MP election results 2019: Congress’ Jyotiraditya Scindia loses a 30-year old family bastion

Bhopal, The <keyword id="21082883" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="scindias" source="keywords">Scindias</keyword>, the influential members of the erstwhile royal family of Gwalior, have moved effortlessly between different political parties when it comes to fighting electoral battles on their home turf and Union minister Jyotiraditya <keyword id="19905342" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="scindia" source="keywords">Scindia</keyword> will carry forward this tradition when he files his nomination as the BJP candidate from the Guna <keyword id="19895394" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="lok-sabha" source="keywords">Lok Sabha</keyword> seat in Madhya Pradesh. Five years after losing unexpectedly from Guna as the Congress candidate, Jyotiraditya Scindia, representing the current generation of the family in MP's politics, is back in the fray in his backyard, but this time as the nominee of his erstwhile political rival and with a different election symbol against his name on the EVM. The 53-year-old politician is the grandson of one of the BJP founders, Vijaya Raje Scindia, and son of former Union minister the late Madhavrao Scindia. The Guna Lok Sabha seat, part of the Scindias' home turf which also includes Gwalior, is spread across eight assembly seats in Guna, Shivpuri and Ashok Nagar districts. The Congress, looking to settle scores with Jyotiraditya Scindia in the poll fray after it lost its government in Madhya Pradesh following his exit exactly four years ago, is yet to name its candidate from Guna. It was a rare electoral shock for former Gwalior royals when the Union Minister for Civil Aviation faced defeat in 2019 at the hands of the BJP candidate and his old loyalist, KP Yadav, by a margin of around 1.26 Lakh votes. In 2024, Scindia is again testing electoral waters, but under the banner of a different party - the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) - the political home to his parental aunts - former Rajasthan Chief Minister <keyword id="21082885" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="vasundhara-raje-scindia" source="keywords">Vasundhara Raje Scindia</keyword> and ex-MP minister <keyword id="21082884" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="yashodhara-raje" source="keywords">Yashodhara Raje</keyword>. But the Guna Lok Sabha constituency's history suggested the Scindias have never fought their first and last elections from the same party. The Union minister's grandmother, <keyword id="21082886" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="rajmata-vijaya-raje-scindia" source="keywords">Rajmata Vijaya Raje Scindia</keyword>, contested her first election from the seat in 1957 on a Congress ticket and won. She contested as the Swatantra Party nominee in 1967 then from the BJP in 1989. His father Madhavrao Scindia contested his first election from Guna on a Bharatiya Jan Sangh (BJS) ticket in 1971 and fought his last poll in 1999 as the Congress nominee before his death in a plane crash near New Delhi in 2001. The BJS is considered the forerunner of the BJP. Senior journalist, author and political analyst <keyword id="20445085" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="rasheed-kidwai" source="keywords">Rasheed Kidwai</keyword> says the Scindias' political leanings seem to be settling down now. "After decades of consciously choosing divergent political parties, the house of Scindias is finally settling down as per their past and ideological leanings. The Sangh, Hindutva and right-wing has always been Scindia flavour in the monarchical era," Kidwai noted. The Guna parliamentary seat was represented by Rajmata Scindia for 6 times, while her son Madhavrao Scindia won it on four occasions. Besides Guna, Rajmata Scindia represented the Gwalior Lok Sabha seat, part of the family turf, once. Madhavrao Scindia was elected five times from Gwalior, once as the candidate of the Madhya Pradesh Vikas Congress, an outfit floated by him. Rajmata Scindia's daughter Yashodhara Raje also represented the Gwalior seat in the Lok Sabha twice for the BJP. Jyotiraditya Scindia has represented the Guna seat four times between 2002 and 2014, including after winning in a bypoll. A year after his defeat, he joined the BJP in March 2020 along with 22 Congress MLAs, leading to the collapse of the Kamal Nath-led government in Madhya Pradesh. The defeat of Jyotiraditya Scindia in 2019 was the second setback for the Scindias in the Lok Sabha elections. In 1984, the Union minister's aunt and former Rajasthan CM <keyword id="20004780" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="vasundhara-raje" source="keywords">Vasundhara Raje</keyword> had faced defeat as the BJP candidate from the Bhind Lok Sabha seat. She was defeated by Congress candidate <keyword id="21082887" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="krishna-singh-judeo" source="keywords">Krishna Singh Judeo</keyword>, who belongs to the erstwhile royal family of Datia. The Guna Lok Sabha constituency has more than 18.80 lakh voters and it will go to polls in the third phase on May 7.

The Scindias: Moving seamlessly between parties in different elections on their home turf

Eleven new cases of <keyword id="6360092" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Dengue" source="Orion">dengue</keyword> have been reported from <keyword id="6355192" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="lucknow" source="Orion">Lucknow</keyword> in the past 24 hours, which is the highest count in a single day so far. Five of the patients are women and six men. While three cases each were reported from <keyword id="6385711" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indira-Nagar" source="Orion">Indira Nagar</keyword> and <keyword id="310205" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="gomti-nagar" source="Orion">Gomti Nagar</keyword>, one patient was from <keyword id="3676834" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="faizullaganj" source="Orion">Faizullaganj</keyword> and other cases were from Kakori and Malihabad. The condition of two patients, under treatment at SPM Civil Hospital and a private hospital in Indira Nagar respectively, is said to be critical. Other patients are recovering at home and are stable, said health officials. Chief Medical Officer Manoj Agrawal said: "The situation is under control. Activities like anti larvae sprinkle and fogging are being done in the affected areas. Besides, beds have been reserved in hospitals. We have directed rapid response teams to visit these areas with instructions to send a report if anyone is found with dengue symptoms." However, no death due to dengue has been reported yet in the state capital. SP leader and ex-minister K.P. Yadav who got infected in Jaunpur, died due to dengue shock syndrome while under treatment in a hospital in Lucknow on September 1. The Health Department teams found larvae of Aedes aegypti, the mosquito that is carrier of dengue virus, at 37 houses in Faizullaganj and Malihabad localities. Larvae were also found in a mall in Vikas Nagar. "At most places, the larvae were found in flower pots or desert coolers. The Aedes aegypti breeds in fresh water in households and people should not allow water to accumulate at any place in the rainy season," said a health official.
