Speculation about former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Kamal Nath potentially joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been addressed by key Congress figures. Congress leaders Digvijaya Singh, Jitu Patwari, Sajjan Singh Verma, and Kamal Nath himself have dismissed the reports. Singh, after speaking with Nath at 10.30 pm, emphasized Nath's lifelong association with the Congress, referencing his start with the Nehru-Gandhi family and dismissing the possibility of his departure as baseless. Verma and Patwari echoed the sentiment, highlighting Nath's commitment to Congress ideology and refuting the rumors as media manipulation by the BJP. Nath maintained ambiguity, stating he would inform the media if a decision were made, while also noting the focus on caste equations for the upcoming 29 Lok Sabha seats in Madhya Pradesh. The situation underscores discussions within Congress about strategy and unity amidst electoral preparations.
