The Congress and a close aide of Kamal Nath on Monday sought to scotch speculation that he may cross over to the BJP, with the party dismissing it as “misinformation” and his confidant asserting that the question of the veteran leader quitting the party does not arise.
Congress general secretary in-charge of Madhya Pradesh Jitendra Singh said that both the former Madhya Pradesh chief minister and his son Nakul Nath, a Lok Sabha MP, will participate in the Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra when it passes through the state.
Singh dismissed the speculation that Kamal Nath and his son may switch to the ruling BJP.
“Kamal Nath ji is a senior leader of our party. All these speculations have been made by the BJP and the media. I spoke to him yesterday and the day before yesterday also, and we discussed the preparations for the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra,” Singh told reporters at the Congress headquarters.
