Jyotiraditya Scindia was responding to a question by reporters on how many members from the families of leaders, MLAs or ministers should get a ticket to contest the upcoming local body polls
Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Thursday said his family has followed the practice of having only one member in active politics at a time as others should get an opportunity.
"I don't want to get into whether tickets will be given to the leaders' families or not. But you must have always seen that in the Scindia family, only one member remained in politics. We have followed this (practice) for the last 30-40 years in our lifetime. This is an important step because everyone should get an opportunity. One member (in politics) is enough in a family," Mr Scindia said.
He was responding to a question by reporters on how many members from the families of leaders, MLAs or ministers should get a ticket to contest the upcoming local body polls.
Mr Scindia, who belongs to the erstwhile royal family of Gwalior, arrived in the city to take part in local programmes.
