Recent remarks by senior Congress leaders Anand Sharma and Kamal Nath, praising the Narendra Modi government’s handling of the West Asia crisis and domestic fuel supply, have exposed fault lines within the party, in turn raising a larger question — is the Congress unraveling, or undergoing a deliberate generational shift?
Kamal Nath came to Chhindwara 40 days after the first child’s death, which had occurred on 3 September, following which, around 25 kids have succumbed to date.
“Such blatant adulteration in medicines for children went unchecked for a long time, indicating a complete failure of law and order and the administrative machinery in the state,” Nath further stated in a post on X.
Mr Nath made the allegations during a community fast held by the MP Congress to protest the increasing number of sexual crimes against women and girls in the state.
The voting in the Chhindwara Lok Sabha constituency would be held in the first phase on 19 April and Vivek Sahu is contesting against sitting Congress MP Nakul Nath, Kamal Nath’s son.
Dr Yadav attended the nomination filing of BJP’s Chhindwara Lok Sabha candidate Vivek ‘Banti’ Sahu a couple of days ago.
Kamal Nath said that he will not contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections form Jabalpur.
There were rumours that Kamal Nath will quit the Congress and join the BJP along with his son Nakul Nath.
Asked if he is joining the saffron party, Kamal Nath, on Saturday, told mediapersons: “Why are you all getting excited? If there is any such thing, you will be the first to be informed about it.”
Speaking to mediapersons earlier, Vijayvargiya, the urban administration minister of MP, said, “We have decided that Kamal Nath will not be allowed in the BJP in Madhya Pradesh.”
