Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia has initiated a new outreach system to deepen his personal engagement with grassroots workers and strengthen his connection with the people of his constituency.
During his ongoing three-day tour of Guna district, Scindia announced that his vehicle will now include, on every field visit, three representatives — the district BJP president, the mandal president of the area he is touring, and one ordinary party worker selected for the day.
The move, party insiders say, is designed to ensure free-flowing, informal and direct communication with workers across all levels.
The decision emerged during a meeting with party workers at a private hotel on Saturday morning. Scindia, who is regarded as one of the most accessible leaders in Madhya Pradesh, told workers that he wants regular, meaningful conversations with the cadre — not just during formal events but during everyday political engagements. He has appointed a designated coordinator to choose the grassroots worker who will accompany him in the vehicle during each visit.
The dialogue became more candid when some workers pointed out that Scindia might not recognise many new faces. The Union Minister responded with a smile, saying, “Come and meet me — only then will I recognise you. How will relationships form without interaction? I want lifelong relationships with my workers.” The remark was met with visible warmth in the room, reflecting the trust he continues to enjoy among party ranks.
Several senior local leaders were present on the occasion. Sources said Scindia expressed displeasure over certain police and administrative arrangements during recent public events, urging officials to ensure smoother handling of programmes in the future.
Following the worker interaction, Scindia travelled to Kushepur village, where he met the family of Bhuriabai, the tribal woman who died while waiting in a fertiliser distribution queue. He offered condolences, spent time with the grieving family and assured them of every possible assistance. His visit was widely appreciated in the region, with villagers calling it a gesture of compassion and leadership.
Later in the day, Scindia shared a detailed note on social media, describing his interactions in Guna as “heartfelt and constructive.” He wrote:
“Today, I held in-depth discussions with senior BJP workers and organisational pillars on upcoming tasks, local needs and future plans. The dedication and service shown by these tireless colleagues over the years is the lifeblood of our organisation.”
Scindia — who already visits his Guna–Shivpuri Lok Sabha constituency for three days every month and remains accessible to people in Gwalior as well — is, according to those close to him, ‘making extensive, consistent and deliberate efforts to maintain a strong personal connect with the people’ after joining the BJP. His new initiative, they say, is another step in his broader vision of fostering a more approachable, interactive and people-centric style of public leadership.
