New Delhi: Hours after becoming the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Kamal Nath sparked a controversy when he lodged an attack on immigrants from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.

He then said employment was another promise made and he will strive to provide people of Madhya Pradesh with jobs. The CM was quoted as saying, "Our schemes of providing incentives of investment will only be imposed after 70% people from Madhya Pradesh get employment. People from other states like Bihar, Uttar Pradesh come here and local people don't get jobs. I have signed file for this."
