Scindia defeated Vijaywargiya during the last elections by a margin of 70 votes.
A local MLA from Indore, Vijaywargiya started taking keen interest in "politics of cricket" after he got elected as the president of the Indore Division Cricket Association.
However, the Scindia camp suffered a blow recently when the Assistant Registrar of the Firms and Societies cancelled the MPCA membership of his 20 loyalists, as rules were allegedly not followed during their induction, sources said.
Among the 20, MPCA president Jyotiraditya Scindia and former India player Narendra Hirwani also lost their memberships.
Scindia alleged that since the registrar was serving under Vijaywargiya's ministry, he had acted against them in a "partisan manner", the sources said.
They were thus debarred from voting in the MPCA elections. However, Scindia is eligible to contest and vote in the polls in his capacity as representative of the Scindia School, Gwalior (institutional membership), sources in the cricket body said. MORE
