Ready to become CM, if party wants me : Jyotiraditya Scindia tells TV channel
New Delhi, Dec 12 (IBNS) : Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia today made it clear he was ready for the post of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister, if his party were to give it to him. "It would be an honour to serve as chief minister," Scindia told NDTV, shortly after the Congress staked claim to form the next government in Madhya Pradesh.
The Congress has narrowly won Madhya Pradesh, emerging the largest party but falling two short of a majority, a shortfall that it has made up after Mayawati pledged her support to the party "to keep the BJP out".
The Congress now faces a tough choice between Kamal Nath and Jyotiraditya Scindia for the post of chief minister.
"I am a servant of the people and will always be. What form that will take, be it through Madhya Pradesh or as minister of central government or chief whip, it is for my party to decide," Scindia said.
