Gwalior, Mar 9 The fort city of Gwalior has a great
tourism potential and efforts were on to develop it as a
"visitors' paradise", Congress MP and scion of Royal family of
Gwalior Jyotiraditya Scindia said today.
"I want to showcase the city as a gateway to Madhya
Pradesh," he said on the sidelines of the Gwalior Heritage
Festival here.
Crediting his late father and Congress leader Madhavrao
Scindia for making the city as an "important destination on
Indian Railway map", he said, "We are also trying to give
Gwalior a better air connectivity. Air Deccan has already
started its services, we are in talk with other airlines too".
With better road, air and rail connectivity, the city has
a great potential to attract tourists, he said and felt that
more efforts are needed to develop Gwalior as a major tourist
destination.
"It will take good 15-20 years to fully develop Gwalior
as a visitors' paradise," he said.
Crediting his family's legacy for "paving his way into
politics", the young Congress leader said politics has
always been a part of him.
"Politics is not new for me. It is in my heart and soul.
I have seen my father extending a helping hand to the people
of Gwalior. I want to carry forward the legacy," he said.
