Buzz Grows Over Kamal Nath's Big Switch. Here's What Congress Veteran Says On Joining BJP: Watch

The remark came amid strong suggestions that the father-son duo will shortly join the BJP.

Amid buzz that former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath may join the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) alongside his son Nakul Nath, the senior Congress leader once again told media that he will inform them if something like this happens, news agency ANI reported. The statements came amid strong suggestions that the father-son duo will shortly join the BJP.

Speaking with media, Kamal Nath stated: "I said yesterday that if there is something like that, I will inform you all. I did not talk to anyone."

Meanwhile, senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on Sunday refuted any claims of Kamal Nath joining the saffron party. 

When questioned about the possibility of Kamal Nath leaving Congress, Singh stated: "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. He 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."

Earlier, Sajjan Singh Verma, a close aid of Kamal Nath, stated that when a "big politician" decides to cut links with his organisation, "all three factors work behind it." He stated that three things function in politics: "maan, apmaan, and swabhimaan (respect, insult, and self-respect)".
