Madhya Pradesh: Losing trust

The Hindu  

MADHYA PRADESH Chief Minister Kamal Nath submitted his resignation to Governor Lalji Tandon around 1 p.m. on March 20, an hour before the trust vote was scheduled to be held in the Assembly. The fate of the Kamal Nath government was perceived to be hanging in the balance with Jyotiraditya Scindia’s resignation followed by his formal induction into the BJP. On March 16, Kamal Nath, amid claims that his government was safe, wrote to the Governor asserting that a floor test “will be undemocratic since MLAs are being held captive in Bengaluru”. We have counted the numbers and there is no threat to the government,” Scindia said as he joined Kamal Nath in lambasting the BJP’s attempt to usurp power in the State.
