Why Jyotiraditya Scindia Is on a Governance Overdrive in Gwalior

From cracking down on officials over fertiliser shortage to rolling out Rs 200-crore infra projects, the Union Minister and Guna MP is consolidating his influence in Gwalior-Chambal where BJP veterans are also vying for dominance

On November 26, a tribal woman died after waiting in a queue for two consecutive days to obtain fertiliser from a distribution centre in Guna in Madhya Pradesh. The BJP’s Guna MP and Union Communications Minister, Jyotiraditya Scindia, immediately swung into action. He publicly reprimanded local officials, inspected such distribution centres himself, and initiated measures to improve the fertiliser supply system while ensuring more transparency in it.

It was not Scindia’s first intervention in the administration matters in Gwalior-Chambal in the BJP-ruled state.
