Kamal Nath confronted the same storm two years in the past which led to the collapse of his authorities in MP.

Veteran Congress chief and former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath is more likely to mediate within the disaster in Rajasthan and met get together chief Sonia Gandhi in Delhi this night, sources informed NDTV. However the veteran chief — seen as one of many contenders for the get together chief’s put up through which Ashok Gehlot is a front-runner — dismissed hypothesis about him changing the Rajasthan Chief Minister within the race.
“I’ve no real interest in (Congress) President put up. I am solely right here for Navratri needs,” Mr Nath was quoted as saying after the assembly by information company ANI, sustaining silence even on the problem of Rajasthan, regarded as the important thing agenda of the assembly. Mr Nath had proven curiosity in mediating and had sought the assembly with Mrs Gandhi, sources had stated.
The Gandhis are stated to be upset with Mr Gehlot over the Rajasthan riot and the 71-year-old is taken into account to have “humiliated” the Congress.
Ninety-two MLAs in Rajasthan threatened to resign yesterday, saying they need Ashok Gehlot — front-runner for the put up of the Congress nationwide president — to retain the put up of the Chief Minister. The likelihood was negated by Rahul Gandhi, who stated the get together will persist with the “One man one put up” rule.
