Five former royals in Madhya Pradesh battle

Bhopal: The days of the Raj are over and the royals no longer exist but the urge to rule is still there. Not to be left behind in the electoral race, at least five members of erstwhile royal families will be wooing the electorate in Madhya Pradesh in the Lok Sabha polls.

Heading the pack is Congress heavyweight Jyotiraditya Scindia, scion of the former princely state of Gwalior, contesting from Guna. Armed with an Oxford education, Jyotiraditya Scindia is transforming himself from a distant, flamboyant prince to a mass
