Narayanasamy, Chief Minister of Pondicherry, blamed BJP for the political crisis in Madhya Pradesh and assured that Kamal Nath, Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh would be able to prove his majority in the Assembly.

As many as 22 MLAs who have allegiance to Scindia resigned from the Assembly supporting his decision.

State’s MPs are sure that they would prove majority under Kamal Nath’s leadership and the resignation does not affect the party in any way according to Congress spokespersons.
