The Congress will win at least 12-13 seats in Madhya Pradesh in the forthcoming Lok Sabha election, former CM and party veteran Kamal Nath said
The Congress will win at least 12-13 seats [of the total 29] in Madhya Pradesh in the forthcoming Lok Sabha election, former Chief Minister and party veteran Kamal Nath said in Ujjain on March 5.
Mr. Nath was in the city to attend Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, which is currently passing through the State.
“Look, I believe the Congress should win at least 12-13 seats. I have spoken at many places. The BJP is an expert in creating a fake atmosphere [of claiming to win all 29 seats],” Mr. Nath said, speaking to reporters.
Mr. Nath’s son, Mr. Nakul Nath, is Congress’s only Lok Sabha MP from the State as the BJP had won 28 out of the 29 seats in 2019.
Mr. Nath also said names of about 15-20 candidates from the State are expected to be announced after the party’s Central Election Committee meeting scheduled for Wednesday.
Mr. Nath also refuted the rumours that were rife last month about him quitting the Congress and joining the BJP, and reiterated that they were “cooked up by the media”.
“Did you ever hear anything from my mouth? You guys [the media] only ran news on them, and everybody started asking me questions. I had already said that the journalists should refute them first,” he said.
