new delhi: madhavrao scindia's death in an air crash near mainpuri in uttar pradesh on sunday has rendered a body blow to the congress leadership. indeed, his death, with that of rajesh pilot in june last year and of rangarajan kumaramangalam soon after, removes a whole crop of emerging second generation leadership of the country. for the congress, the loss is more as the party had also lost a seasoned jitendra prasad just a year ago.
