Kamal Nath continues to be Cong Kamal, say his campers
Madhya Pradesh Congress leaders close to Kamal Nath on Monday sought to put an end to the talks of him joining BJP and said that the senior leader and his parliamentarian son Nakul will stay in the grand-old party.
Dismissing the reported BJP negotiations with Nath as unfounded, they said Nath is currently busy planning Congress' Lok Sabha poll plans and upcoming yatra of Rahul Gandhi in Madhya Pradesh.
They further said Nath's son would contest again from his Chhindwara Lok Sabha seat on Congress ticket.
After holding a meeting with Nath at his residence here, Madhya Pradesh Congress leaders spoke to the media persons. «How can this question (of Nath joining BJP) arise when Kamal Nath himself is the high command? He told us that he will call all the in-charges of the Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee and discuss the preparations for the Lok Sabha polls. We also discussed the public rally in Madhya Pradesh during the 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra'. Kamal Nathji will be holding a party meeting in this connection in Bhopal later this week,» Sajjan Singh Verma, a senior Congress leader, known to be a close confidant of Nath, said.
Responding to media queries, he indicated that Nath was unhappy about certain issues and said that Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and senior leader Rahul Gandhi had spoken to Nath. There were indications that Sonia Gandhi, too, had spoken to Nath. These senior leaders were believed to have told Nath they valued his contributions and role in the party leadership.
