On 8 May 1966, Madhavi Raje was married to the then Maharaja of Gwalior, Madhavrao Scindia. Madhavrao Scindia was counted among the powerful leaders of the country and he has been the leader of the Congress. He died in a helicopter crash. Jyotiraditya Scindia was carrying on his father’s political legacy after Madhavrao’s death. Yotiraditya Scindia left Congress and joined BJP in March 2020.
Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has expressed grief over the death of Madhavi Raje. He wrote on the social media platform ‘X’, “Heartbreaking news of the death of Smt. Madhavi Raje Scindia, the revered mother of Bharatiya Janata Party and Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia.” Mothers are the basis of life and their loss is an irreparable loss of life. I pray to Baba Mahakal to give the departed pious soul a place in his feet and give his family the strength to bear this suffering. Peace
