Scindia, who quit the Congress three years ago, thrives on his connect with the people. He can call more than 15,000 people in the Gwalior-Chambal region—once part of the princely state of Gwalior—by their names.
THE WEEK travelled with him to his palace in Gwalior from Pohari. Scindia is slightly hoarse, the fallout of at least half a dozen rallies a day. He treats his overworked vocal cords with warm water. At 52, Scindia is fit. He has gone gluten free, keeps away from wheat and rice, and relies on millets these days. On the campaign trail he eats rolls packed from home and he also loves his tea. While in Delhi, he spends an hour every day at his home gym.
Scindia stopped his car a few times to greet supporters who had gathered along the route with garlands. It was nearly dark as we approached the majestic Jai Vilas Palace, and the royal residence was all lit up. Scindia spoke extensively on a range of issues, including the BJP’s prospects, the Congress’s problems, the chances of him becoming chief minister and his association with Prime Minister Modi. Excerpts:
Q/Gwalior received the UNESCO tag of the ‘City of Music’. It is a big achievement.
