'He stood with Gandhi family when Indira was jailed': Digvijaya Singh rubbishes rumours of Kamal Nath's shift to BJP

'A person who started his political journey and stood with the Nehru-Gandhi family when Indira Gandhi was sent to jail, do you think he will ever leave Congress and the Gandhi family,' Singh said.

Congress leader Digvijaya Singh rubbished rumours of former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister and congress leader, Kamal Nath's plausible shift to Bhartiya Janata Party.

"I spoke to Kamal Nath at 10.30 pm yesterday, he is in Chhindwara. A person who started his political journey and stood with the Nehru-Gandhi family when Indira Gandhi was sent to jail, do you think he will ever leave Congress and the Gandhi family?" he said.

Kamal Nath is said to be disgruntled over not getting a Rajya Sabha berth and also Rahul Gandhi being opposed to him since the party lost the assembly polls late last year.

Nath was replaced as the party's Madhya Pradesh unit chief following its rout in the assembly polls, in which the BJP retained power winning 163 seats in the 230-member House. The Congress managed to win just 66 seats.
