Madhya Pradesh political drama a result of 'infighting' within Congress, anger towards central leadership, says Kailash Vijayvargiya

Firstpost  

Senior BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya on Wednesday denied his party’s role in the alleged horse-trading of MLAs supporting the Congress-led Madhya Pradesh government, and said the ongoing political developments are a result of ‘infighting’ in the ruling party Indore: Senior BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya on Wednesday denied his party’s role in the alleged horse-trading of MLAs supporting the Congress-led Madhya Pradesh government, and said the ongoing political developments are a result of “infighting” in the ruling party. In fact, it is the result of the ongoing infighting among Congress leaders.” The BJP leader claimed that whatever is currently happening in the state’s politics, shows the “frustration” of the ruling Congress MLAs and their “anger” towards Chief Minister Kamal Nath. Asked about the future of the Kamal Nath government, which has completed 15 months of its tenure, Vijayvargiya said, “Look, what happens next.” He said if the BJP wanted, it could have formed its government in the state after the last Assembly polls because it was “short of only four to five MLAs” and people were ready to come to support it. The senior BJP leader also alleged that the ruling Congress in the state “failed” to keep its promises made to people during the Assembly elections in 2018.
