Late Vijaya Raje Scindia proved that 'jan seva' or public service was important than 'raj satta' or power, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday after releasing a commemorative coin in honour of the Jana Sangh and BJP leader.

Vijaya Raje Scindia, popularly known as Rajmata, was one of the co-founders of the BJP and a prominent anti-Congress voice who was jailed by then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi during the Emergency.
