Jyotiraditya bats for party nominee against aunt Yashodhara
Yashodhara, who represents Gwalior Lok Sabha seat, is contesting Shivpuri Assembly segment which falls under Jyotiraditya's Guna Lok Sabha constituency.

According to sources, there was a mutual understanding in the Scindia clan since the days of late Vijaya Raje Scindia and Madhav Rao Scindia that the royals will not target each other even though they represent different political parties.
However, when Yashodhara jumped into the fray from Shivpuri, Jyotiraditya, also the chief of the state Congress election campaign committee, had left with no option but to campaign against BJP.
Though Jyotiraditya refrained from singling out Yashodhara during the meeting, he was unsparing in attack on the ruling BJP government and appealed to voters to ensure Raghuwanshi's victory with a huge margin.
