Amid strong speculation that he may join the BJP, veteran Congress leader and former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath on Sunday said he did not talk to anyone.
Asked if he is joining the BJP, Kamal Nath told mediapersons: “I said yesterday that if there is something like that, I will inform you all. I did not talk to anyone.”
Kamal Nath had arrived in the national capital yesterday afternoon.
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.”
Nath did not make any denial when he was specifically asked about the speculation. “There is no question of my being excited to be here or there,” he had said.
The senior Congress leader’s remarks came after the rumours which have been doing the rounds that he and his son, Nakul Nath, may soon join the BJP.
On Saturday, Congress leader Digvijaya Singh reacted to speculations over Kamal Nath joining the BJP and said: “I spoke to Kamal Nath on Friday. He was in Chhindwara. A person who started his political journey and stood with the Nehru-Gandhi family when Indira Gandhi was sent to jail, do you think that he will ever leave the Congress and the Gandhi family?”
Congress MP Nakul Nath removed ‘INC’ from his social media bio, giving further momentum to the rumours that he is going to join the BJP.
Furthermore, Nakul Nath, the lone Congress MP from Madhya Pradesh, who was supposed to continue his meeting with party workers in Chhindwara from February 14 to 18, stopped the meeting and left for Delhi along with his father.
