Kamal Nath like Indira Gandhi's third son, won't leave Congress: Digvijaya Singh

VO: Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on February 19th refuted speculations that former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath will leave the party and join BJP.

"I am constantly in touch with Kamal Nath, the Congress leadership is having discussions with him. A person like him, who started with Congress, whom we all considered to be the third son of Indira Gandhi, has always supported Congress and has been a pillar of the Congress party," said Singh.

"[Nath was the cabinet minister in the Centre, State Congress Committee President and Chief Minister. He got all the posts. I don't think he will leave the party," Singh added.

Amid speculation that Kamal Nath may join BJP, his MP son Nakul Nath has dropped Congress from his bio on social media.

Nakul'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.

The bio of Nakul Kamal Nath on X now identifies him only as a Member of Parliament, Chhindwara (MP).
