Kamal Nath on the Brink? Congress Veteran Mulls BJP Leap in Madhya Pradesh, Dighvijay Singh Says the Veteran will Remain in the Party

Bhopal,Madhya Pradesh, February 18, 2024: The political cauldron in Madhya Pradesh boils over as rumors swirl around senior Congress leader Kamal Nath and his son Nakul Nath potentially defecting to the BJP. With Nath in Delhi for a reported meeting with BJP leaders, and his son removing Congress affiliation from his online bio, speculation runs rampant.

Adding fuel to the fire, Digvijaya Singh, another prominent Congress leader, alleges immense pressure on Congress leaders from investigative agencies like ED and IT, but confidently asserts Nath’s loyalty to the party. He highlights Nath’s long-standing association with Congress, citing his ties to former PM Indira Gandhi and the power he’s enjoyed within the party.

However, conflicting reports emerge. While Singh remains adamant about Nath’s firm stance, anonymous Congress sources reveal the party’s lack of interest in retaining the veteran leader and their intention to refrain from efforts to persuade him. Further complicating the narrative, whispers suggest Nakul Nath’s imminent BJP induction, with reports of him being in contact with the party.

With Nath’s cryptic response to reporters – “If anything happens, I’ll inform you first” – the suspense persists. This political saga unfolds amid the backdrop of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, potentially impacting the electoral landscape of Madhya Pradesh. Whether Nath decides to switch allegiances or remains anchored in Congress remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the political battleground in Madhya Pradesh is far from settled.
