KAMAL NATH RESIGNS BEFORE FLOOR TEST

Bureau,Odishabarta

Bhopal: Kamal Nath, the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, has resigned today ahead of the floor test.

Slamming the BJP ahead of floor test, Kamal Nath said that, “I got five years to work for MP. The BJP got 15 years. So far, I have got only 15 months, but during these 15 months people of Madhya Pradesh know the conspiracy that BJP has indulged in. Since the day we came to power BJP has been trying to bring us down. The BJP has murdered democracy. We have proven our majority in the House earlier”.

Earlier, Jyotiraditya Scindia joined BJP along with 19 other MLAs, leaving the Congress with only 92 seats. The BJP now effectively has 107 seats, four more than the halfway mark of 103. The Bahujan Samaj Party has two seats and Samajwadi Party has one.

Speaker NP Prajapati has also accepted the resignation of Scindia and 22 other members of the legislative assembly, reports said.

The Supreme Court had ordered a floor test which was to be completed by 5pm on Friday. It would have been carried out by show of hands in the state assembly.
