Digvijaya blames Scindia, Kamal Nath egos for government collapse

Senior Congress veteran Digvijaya Singh publicly asserted that the recent collapse of the state government was driven by the egos of senior leaders Jyotiraditya Scindia and Kamal Nath. He argued that personal ambitions and power tussles among the two leaders destabilised the coalition and led to its downfall.

Singh highlighted that Scindia had pushed for former minister Silawat to be appointed as the Pradesh Congress Committee chief, a move he said reflected internal jockeying for influence. According to Singh, such attempts to reshuffle party leadership created friction that spilled over into the government's functioning.

The remarks were made as political observers note a period of realignment within the state's Congress ranks. Singh did not provide further details on the timeline of the government's fall, but his comments underscore ongoing concerns about intra‑party rivalries affecting governance.

No official response from Scindia, Kamal Nath or the party’s central leadership has been recorded at the time of reporting.
