MP govt crisis: Kamal Nath announces resignation, Congress falls and BJP rejoices

India Today  

The Congress suffered a humiliating blow on Friday as yet another state slipped out of its grasp when Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath announced resignation ahead of the Supreme Court-mandated floor test in the state assembly. So, it conspired with a maharaj and 22 greedy MLAs and planned to topple my government," Kamal Nath said, adding that the people of Madhya Pradesh won't forgive these "greedy and rebellious" people. Besides, the fact that they were siding with Jyotiraditya Scindia, a powerful and popular Congress leader from Madhya Pradesh who recently himself rebelled against his party to join the BJP, meant the 22 MLAs were more than just a lot of disgruntled MLAs who would be easily lured back with ministerial posts, something Kamal Nath tried but failed at. "I don't think the Kamal Nath government will surviveafter the resignations of 22 MLAs were accepted, the government doesn't have numbers to survive the trust vote," he said.
