"We have nothing to do with this. This is Congress's internal matter and I would not like to comment on it. We had said on the first day that we are not interested in bringing down the government", BJP's Shivraj Singh Chouhan
 
Bhopal, March 10: The already unstable, 15 month old Kamal Nath government in Madhya Pradesh seems to be on the verge of collapse after around 20 state ministers resigned during a cabinet meeting convened late Monday night following a political crisis in the state, reposing faith in the Chief Minister.
 
"We have resigned. Now it is up to the chief minister to take a call", MP Forest Minister Umang Singhar said after emerging from the meeting. While Chief Minister Kamal Nath indicated that he is fighting back with plans for a cabinet rejig, the ministers have taken the back seat to express solidarity with the Nath government.

The ministers have requested the chief minister to reconstitute the cabinet. Earlier, Nath told the cabinet meeting, "I will not allow (anyone) to destabilise my government with the help of mafia". Taking a blatant jibe at the BJP, he said that he had dedicated all his life serving the people. "BJP has indulged in immoral ways to destabilise my government. My biggest strength is people's faith and their love showered on me. I will not allow any-one to destabilise the government elected by the people," he noted.
 
Meanwhile the BJP leader Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that the ongoing political crisis in Madhya Pradesh is the internal matter of the Congress party and BJP is not at all interested in toppling the government. "We have nothing to do with this. This is Congress's internal matter and I would not like to comment on it. We had said on the first day that we are not interested in bringing down the government."
 
Nath had earlier cut short his Delhi visit and rushed to Bhopal where he had called an urgent cabinet meeting at around 10 pm after intense speculation about a possible revolt by a faction led by senior leader Jyotiraditya Scindia who, along with at least 17 legislators, went incommunicado.
 
Many of these legislators, including the Congress's Jyotiraditya Scindia had flown to Bengaluru earlier in the day. However, hectic efforts are underway by the Congress leadership to save the party's government in Madhya Pradesh, and placate Scindia who has long been at daggers drawn with Kamal Nath over leadership issues. Scindia, accompanied by Amit Shah, met PM Modi today and is likely to join the BJP later this evening.
