Scindia took to the microblogging website Twitter where he posted his resignation, without any caption. His resignation was self explanatory.

However, while maximum attention was on Senior Scinida, Junior Scindia, that is Mahanaryaman Scinida, the son of Jyotiraditya was also gaining a lot of attention.

Junior Scinida in support of his father tweeted, “I am proud of my father for taking a stand for himself. It takes courage to to resign from a legacy.
