Speculation surrounding senior Congress leader Kamal Nath's potential switch to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been a topic of intense discussion and concern within the Congress party. Rumors began circulating, suggesting that Nath, referred to as Indiraji's "Third Son" and a former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, might leave the Congress for the BJP. This led to a flurry of activity within the Congress, with the leadership reportedly on high alert and several party leaders publicly addressing the rumors. Statements were made by Congress leaders including Jitu Patwari, who dismissed the rumors, and Rajeev Shukla, as well as other prominent figures like Digvijaya Singh, who mentioned being in constant touch with Nath. Ghulam Nabi Azad expressed disappointment with the Congress leadership. Kamal Nath himself addressed the speculation, stating, "I said yesterday that if there is something like that, I will inform you all. I did not talk to anyone..." and reiterated his commitment to the party. He was also reported to be focusing on how to distribute tickets for the 29 Lok Sabha seats. Ultimately, the Congress announced that Kamal Nath would remain with the party, ending the suspense over his potential switch to the BJP.
