Earlier in the day, Scindia had met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah and in Delhi. The meeting had fueled speculations that he will join the BJP and ultimately help the party topple the Congress government in Madhya Pradesh.
Although the state government is set to fall due to lack of numbers, chief minister of the state Kamal Nath has maintained that the party will prove its majority in the Assembly and complete its full five-year term.
