Senior Congress leader and MP Manish Tewari sparked speculation about joining the Bharatiya Janata Party, just a day after fresh rumours swirled around former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath., according to India Today. T
On Saturday, amid speculation that Congress veteran Nath may join BJP, his MP son Nakul Nath dropped Congress from his bio on social media. Nakul Nath's move has added fuel to rumours swirling for the last few days that he, along with his father, are defecting to the Bharatiya Janata Party.
Kamal Nath, the sitting MLA from the Chhindwara seat, was removed as MP Congress chief in the wake of the Congress' crushing defeat at the hands of BJP in the last Assembly elections. He is said to be disgruntled over not getting a Rajya Sabha berth and also Rahul Gandhi has been opposed to him since the party lost the assembly polls late last year.
