After offering prayers at a temple on the occasion of Durga Ashtami, Jyotiraditya Scindia's convoy left for Guna to file nomination.
On the way, his supporters gave him a warm welcome by showering flowers.
Interestingly, this is the first election on BJ ticket for Jyotiraditya Scindia, who is contesting his sixth Lok Sabha election from the family bastion Guna.
As of 2019, he has contested five Lok Sabha elections on a Congress ticket and won four of them.
The Scindia scion had lost against BJP's KP Yadav in 2019, which was a major setback for him. A year later, he switched to BJP alone along with 22 Congress MLAs in March 2020.
Jyotiraditya Scindia, a member of the former royal Scindia family of Gwalior, contested the first Lok Sabha (by-election) election after his father and Congress leader Madhavrao Scindia, the Lok Sabha MP from Guna, died in a plane accident in 2001, and he won.
Jyotiraditya Scindia (53) was elected MP from his family bastion Guna for three consecutive terms - in 2004, 2009 and 2014.
Guna was one of the two Lok Sabha seats that the Congress managed to win in 2014 despite the raging PM Modi wave; However, Scindia lost in 2019.
"I have just taken the blessings of the 'Tekri government' and now we are moving ahead on the path of public service," he said after offering prayers before filing his nomination.
This time Jyotiraditya Scindia's main contest will be with Rao Yadvendra Singh Yadav, who left BJP and joined Congress in 2023.
