Kamal Nath Set to Quit as Leader of Oppn, Uncertain if He Will Remain MPCC Head or Retreat to Delhi
News 18After it was reported that senior Congress leader Kamal Nath is going to quit as Leader of Opposition in the Madhya Pradesh assembly, uncertainty now prevails over the fact whether he will remain as the MPCC head or will join his new responsibility in the central leadership in New Delhi. Congress party insiders have claimed that Nath, internally, has agreed to quit as LoP but it is yet to be seen whether he continues as the MPCC chief or shifts to New Delhi. Nath is scheduled to remain in New Delhi till January 6 and party leaders say a decision on him could be made in the party core group meet, slated to take place on January 3. Nath, early in December, reportedly told Sonia Gandhi about his wish to quit as LoP but as the state is heading towards civic and panchayat polls, it will be interesting to see whether the party high command persists with him as the MPCC head or appoints any younger politician to lead the party in local body polls.
