The former chief minister of Madhya Pradesh, Kamal Nath, could give another shock to the Congress. Political circles are buzzing with speculation about the release of him and his son, Nakul Nath, of the party. The big old party has already lost heavy goods vehicles in the Maharashtra this year. Although Nath and her son did not officially confirm the reports, such a potential decision a few months before the Lok Sabha elections will be a major setback for the Congress. But why did the rumors on the old CM and the departure of his son from Congress came? Let’s take a closer look. Rumors about the defection of Kamal Nath According to Times of India (you)The rumors about Nath leaving the big old party started three weeks ago. They recently accelerated the pace after the reaction of the senior leader concerning the possibility that the leader of the recently expelled congress Achaya Pramod Krishnam joins the BJP. On this subject, Nath said on February 3: “Everyone is independent. No one is linked to any political party. Three days later, his son and deputy for Chhindwara, Nakul Nath, declared himself a candidate for the constituency of the next surveys of Lok Sabha. However, no official announcement has yet been made by the Congress. “This time too, I will be your candidate in the Lok Sabha elections. Rumors contribute to knowing whether Kamal Nath or Nakul Nath would contest the elections, I would like to clearly indicate that Kamal Nath will not dispute the elections, I will do it, “Nakul Nath said during a rally on February 6. Chhindwara has been a bastion of Kamal Nath for years. During the 2019 general elections, while the BJP swept 28 out of 29 seats in Madhya Pradesh, Nakul Nath managed to win on a ticket from the Chhindwara Congress, noted NDTV. Earlier this month, several leaders close to Nath, including the mayor of Jabalpur, Jagat Bahadur Singh ‘Cancel’, went to BJP. On February 12, the former deputy for Congress Dinesh Ahirwar and the president of the Vidisha Congress district, Rakesh Katare, joined the Safran party. Speculations also intensified after Nakul abandoned the “congress” of his biography on social media accounts. It came a day after the chief of Madhya Pradesh, the head of the BJP, VD Sharma, said that the old CM and his son are invited to join the Safran camp. Sharma said on Friday that the doors of the BJP were open to the senior Congress leaders who are thwarted by the party for declining the invitation to the consecration ceremony of the Ayodhya RAM temple. According to Indian ExpressAsked about Kamal Nath joining the BJP, Sharma told journalists: “If someone believed the leaders of the BJP and believes in their policies, for such people, the doors are open … We have opened our doors to people Congress who think their party has boycotted the Ram Mandir consecration event. Ram is in the mind of Bharat and Ram lies in his heart. He was insulted by the congress. If these leaders have pain in their hearts, then they should have an opportunity. And the name you take (Nath) if in his heart he has such pain, so I think he is welcome. Congress rejects rumors The congress rejected the rumors of Kamal Nath crossing the BJP. The president of the Madhya Pradesh Congress, Jitu Patwari, described the “baseless” reports. “For the first time, when Kamal Nath fought the elections, Indira Gandhi said that Kamal Nath was her third son … During the 45 years of Kamal Nath’s political journey, both in our good and bad times, he worked with the party. Referring to the revolt of the Congress of the time, Jyotiraitha Scandia, who overthrew the government of the state of Nath in 2020, Patwari said that at the time “all the workers of the congress were held with leadership and Kamal Nath’s ideology ”. “Can you imagine the third son of Indira Gandhi leaving Congress?” He asked Mediapersons on Saturday.
