Kamal Nath has been sworn-in as Madhya Pradesh CM amid a scathing attack
by the BJP following Sajjan Kumar’s conviction in the 1984 anti-Sikh
riots cases. Nath has also faced allegations of involvement in the
communal riots that followed then PM Indira Gandhi’s assassination.
Countering the BJP’s attack, Congress asked the saffron party not to
politicise the Delhi High Court’s ruling.
Kamal Nath was administered the oath by Governor Anandiben Patel. Those present at the swearing-in ceremony included Congress chief Rahul Gandhi, former prime minister Manmohan Singh, AICC general secretary Mallikarjun Kharge, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, his deputy Sachin Pilot, MPs Jyotiraditya Scindia, former Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah and Punjab minister Navjot Singh Sidhu. NCP chief Sharad Pawar, National Conference president Farooq Abdullah, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, Loktantrik Janata Dal leader Sharad Yadav, DMK's MK Stalin, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav and Kamal Nath's predecessor and BJP leader Shivraj Singh Chouhan were also present.
Former CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan, in exemplary sportsmanship attended the oath-taking ceremony of Kamal Nath and came to the stage to personally congratulate all the senior Congress leaders on their victory. In apprecaition of the gesture, Omar Abdullah took to twitter to post a photo of Chouhan, hoisting hands of Jyotiraditya Schindia on one side and Kamal Nath on the other in celebratory repose. " Respect for Shivraj Singh Chouhan. It can’t have been easy to do this & that too after such a narrow defeat," he wrote.
