Kamal Nath won’t switch to BJP, says MP Congress chief amid speculations

Amid rumours and speculations of senior Congress leader Kamal Nath and his son Nakul Nath's exit from the party, Madhya Pradesh Congress chief Jitu Patwari on Sunday said that the former CM will be staying in Congress.

Patwari said he spoke to Kamal Nath and he said that all these things were just rumours.

"The rumours that Kamal Nath going to BJP, this is an example of how media can be misused. This was a conspiracy made against Kamal Nath. I spoke to him and he said that all these things are just rumours, and he is a Congress person and will continue to be a Congress person...he will continue to have Congress ideology till his last breath," Patwari was quoted by ANI.

Several Madhya Pradesh MLAs close to Kamal Nath arrived in Delhi.

On Saturday, Nath along with his son had arrived in Delhi after cancelling his programme in Chhindwara. Strengthening the rumours of possible switch to BJP, Nakul had changed his ‘Congress’ bio in his social media accounts.
