MP Congress wary of BJP’s topple ‘sneeze’

BHOPAL: On January 11, BJP national general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya had remarked that the day BJP central leadership ‘sneezed’, the party would be back in power in Madhya Pradesh. After TsuNaMo 2.0, the Congress government in MP will now be jittery about this ‘sneeze’ from BJP headquarters in New Delhi.
As soon as the trends started showing a Modi wave, state BJP president Rakesh Singh on Thursday demanded the resignation of chief minister Kamal Nath on “moral grounds”. “Congress has lost people’s support,” he said. BJP has given enough indications that the post-poll days would not be easy for the Congress-led coalition. It hasn’t spoken of a floor test yet, but has dared the Congress government to prove its majority in passing the state budget.
BJP has indicated quite clearly that the “countdown” has started. Congress minister Jitu Patwari dismissed the threat. “There is no danger to the state government. There is no chance that MLAs aligned with Congress will move towards BJP,” he said.
