Lessons from the Jyotiraditya Scindia exit, what corporates can learn from it

After two weeks of political drama, triggered by the shock defection of #JyotiradityaScindia which eventually led to the collapse of the #Congressgovernment, #KamalNath handed in his resignation as MP #chiefminister on Friday, saying betrayal by “Maharaj” and “political greed” has defeated the hopes and belief of MP.

Jyotiraditya had joined the party 18 years ago following the death of his father. Was an Union Minister and One of the close associates of Rahul Gandhi. In fact he was one of the most dynamic and powerful face for the Congress in North India

Two reasons are been attributed as immediate triggers behind Jyotiraditya's exit from the Congress-he wanted the post of #PradeshCongressCommittee (PCC) president in Madhya Pradesh and a #RajyaSabha berth from the state. Sources claim he wanted to be named either the #chiefministerialcandidate or PCC chief. Jyotiraditya had worked hard for the congress party's victory in the assembly polls and he was the man behind the CM Post.

Following the party's victory in the assembly election, then president Rahul Gandhi chose to make Nath the chief minister. It was a major setback for Jyotiraditya, who is known to have always stood by Rahul.

His loyalists were denied ministerial berths in the Nath cabinet, and those who did get in faced a lot of resistance within the government. Jyotiraditya's requests on various party and constituency-related issues were consistently ignored.

When Rahul resigned as Congress national president, taking moral responsibility for the party's disastrous performance in the Lok Sabha polls, Jyotiraditya and a section of other young leaders, such as Sachin Pilot, sensed an opportunity to play a national role in the Congress Party
