Over 15 months after he took over as the chief minister of Madhya Pradesh, Kamal Nath resigned from the top post on Friday March 20,2020
His move comes a day after the Supreme Court directed that a floor test be conducted in Madhya Pradesh Assembly to prove that the Congress government led by him enjoys majority in the House following the rebellion by 22 MLAs of his party
Nath submitted his resignation to Governor Lalji Tandon at the Raj Bhawan here this afternoon.
“He submitted his resignation to the governor,” a Raj Bhawan official told
In his resignation letter, Nath said, “In my 40-year- long public life, I have always done politics of purity and valued democratic norms and given priority to it. But what transpired in the last two weeks is a new chapter of devaluation of democratic values.”
In the letter, he also congratulated new chief minister of the state and said he will also extend help in the development of the state
Before submitting his resignation, Nath addressed a press conference, where he announced his resignation
During the press conference, he also accused the BJP of killing the democratic values by conspiring against his government and blamed former Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia for the current political crisis in the state
“I have decided to submit my resignation to the governor. But I will continue to work for the welfare of the people...I did the politics of value,” he said
“I took over as the CM on December 17, 2018. During my political career, I have always believed in development. I was given an opportunity for a period of five years to give a new identity to the state,” he said
“The BJP didn’t like the people-centric works carried out by my government during our 15-month rule, so they kept conspiring against me,” he said
Nath alleged that 22 Congress MLAs were held captive in Bengaluru by the BJP, which has been witnessed by the entire country
“BJP killed the democratic values by conspiring,” he said
“I have proved my majority on the floor of the House several times during the past 15 years...but the BJP betrayed the people of state by destabilising the government,” he said.
