Madhya Pradesh: Congress says Kamal Nath to take part in Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in state

Senior Congress leader Kamal Nath will take part in the Madhya Pradesh leg of the Rahul Gandhi-led ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’, a party functionary said on Friday.

Nath will reach Gwalior on March 2 and attend the yatra till March 6, a Congress spokesperson said.

The yatra will enter Morena from neighbouring Rajasthan on March 2 and will cover Gwalior, Shivpuri, Guna, Rajgarh, Shajapur, Ujjain, Dhar and Ratlam before re-entering Rajasthan on March 6.

Nath was recently at the centre of speculation that he and his Chhindwara MP son Nakul Nath were planning to join the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party.

Meanwhile, several Congress members from Nath’s stronghold Chhindwara joined the BJP on Wednesday in the presence of Chief Minister Mohan Yadav.

Yadav, speaking on the occasion, said many were feeling anxious and would eventually join the BJP.
