Congress leader Kamal Nath. (File Photo)Congress leader Kamal Nath on Thursday resigned as the Leader of Opposition in Madhya Pradesh Assembly.
According to news agency ANI, the Congress said Dr Govind Singh will take over as the Congress Legislature Party leader of Madhya Pradesh after Nath’s resignation.
Nath served as the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh for about 15 months after winning the state Assembly elections in 2018. However, the Congress government fell in March 2020 after a political turmoil in the state following a slew of resignations by sitting MLAs. Nath then assumed the post of Congress Legislature Party leader in July 2020.
The grand old party has recently changed its leadership in quite a few states including Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Punjab — a state where the party lost power to Aam Aadmi Party in the recently concluded Assembly elections.
