With BJP, Ram, and nationalism, Scindia family looks to regain lost fortress

“Scindia, oh Scindia dil se; sochna ab kya hai, chunein Modi phir se.” Roughly translated, the lyrics say: “Scindia, from the heart; what’s there to think about, let’s choose Prime Minister Narendra Modi once again.” Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia and his supporters dance to the song after he finishes his address at Athai Kheda village in Madhya Pradesh’s Guna Lok Sabha constituency. 

More than four years after he made the switch from the Congress, Mr. Scindia is contesting his first Lok Sabha election with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and hopes to reclaim his family’s lost bastion of Guna.
