Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has refused to answer any question on Jyotiraditya Scindia's exit from the party.

Jyotiraditya Scindia, whose exit has left the Congress on the verge of losing power in Madhya Pradesh, will join the BJP at 12.30 pm today. 

For his crossover, which has threatened the Kamal Nath government in Madhya Pradesh, he is likely to be rewarded with a Rajya Sabha nomination and eventually, a spot in the central cabinet. 

The Madhya Pradesh government has a wafer-thin majority of just four above the majority mark of 116. 22 Congress MLAs also quit along with Mr Scindia and if the resignations are accepted, the party will lose power.
