"We Only Know Kamal, Not Kamal Nath": Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister To NDTV

"I have considered only kamal (Loyus, the BJP symbol) but not Kamal Nath. We have many kamals in our party and by God's grace we manage to bloom in the mud," Mohan Yadav told NDTV

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav remained non-ciommittal about reports of Congress veteran Kamal Nath and his son Nakul Nath joining the party. Asked about the natter in an exclusive interview, he told NDTV, "I have considered only  kamal (Loyus, the BJP symbol) but not Kamal Nath. We have many kamals in our party and by God's grace we manage to bloom in the mud".

Asked what would the party do if they wished to join, he sidestepped, saying he was only concerned with the present.

There was a massive buzz earlier this year that Kamal Nath and his son were joining the BJP. Both denied and Nakul Nath was later named the Congress candidate from Chhindwara. He will face-off against the BJP's Vivek Sahu.
