As Jyotiraditya Scindia joined the BJP, India's dairy giant Amul, known for its caricatures on major news-related events, has taken a dig on former Congress president Rahul Gandhi. Posting a caricature of Scindia holding a lotus- the political symbol of the BJP, and Rahul Gandhi staring at him as he walks away, Amul wrote, "Haath se nikal gaya" (gone out of hand). The quote used is a pun on Congress' political symbol. The poster was captioned by the dairy giant as "Jyotiraditya shifts allegiances!"
