After rumours that veteran Congress leader Kamal Nath is joining BJP, the former chief minister of Madhya Pradesh on Friday urged citizens of the State to support Rahul Gandhi when the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra enters the State.

Kamal Nath referred to Rahul Gandhi as “Our leader” in his post on X.

“Our leader Shri Rahul Gandhi has taken to the streets across the country and announced a decisive fight against injustice, oppression and exploitation,” he said. “I urge the people of Madhya Pradesh and the brave workers of Congress to become the strength and courage of Rahul Gandhi by joining the Bharat Jodo Nyaya Yatra in maximum numbers. Together you and I will bring this great campaign against injustice to an end,” he added.

There has been much speculations recently that Kamal Nath, who is also called the ‘third son of Indira Gandhi’ was planning to join Congress’ archrival BJP along with his son Nakul Nath.
