In a recent development, former Chief Minister Kamal Nath’s close aide Sajjan Singh Verma has dispelled rumors of Nath and his son Nakul Nath switching to the BJP. Verma stated that Nath had spoken to Rahul Gandhi over the phone, emphasizing that he has not considered leaving the Congress.
During a meeting at Nath’s residence in Delhi, Verma revealed that Nath was focused on establishing the caste equation for the 29 Lok Sabha seats in Madhya Pradesh. He also claimed that Nath had a list of probable candidates for these seats.
Verma, who served as a minister in Nath’s Congress government, asserted that the news of Nath leaving the Congress was fabricated by the media. He stated that Nath had assured him that any decision would be communicated to the media and clarified that the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, a campaign that will soon enter Madhya Pradesh, was discussed during Nath’s conversation with Rahul Gandhi.
The claims made by Verma come in response to swirling speculations about Nath’s potential defection to BJP. Verma’s statements serve to quell the rumors and reaffirm Nath’s commitment to the Congress.
The details provided by Verma shed light on the ongoing political dynamics in Madhya Pradesh and highlight the significance of Nath’s conversations with Rahul Gandhi in addressing party matters and upcoming campaigns.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, Nath’s purported discussions and plans for the upcoming Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra indicate a renewed focus on political strategies and engagements in the state, effectively dispelling the rumors of his departure from the Congress.
