Modi is reportedly attending a key BJP meet.
Scindia is likely to join the BJP on Tuesday itself, media reports said.
As many as 21 Congress MLAs on Tuesday resigned from Madhya Pradesh Assembly leading to an unprecedented political crisis in the state where Congress enjoys a wafer-thin majority. Following the move, the CM Kamal Nath-led government in MP is staring at a collapse.
