The Congress-led government in Madhya Pradesh on Monday appeared to be in trouble when party MLAs and ministers loyal to Jyotiraditya Scindia flew out to Bengaluru and went incommunicado.
After that, Chief Minister Kamal Nath, who was in Delhi, rushed to the state in the evening and held a meeting with senior party leaders including Digvijaya Singh.
Subsequently, around 10 pm, CM Nath held a cabinet meeting at his residence following which 20 ministers, who attended the meeting, rendered their resignation to the CM, expressing faith in his leadership and asking him to reconstitute the cabinet.
