It's a classic case of friend-turned-foe in Madhya Pradesh. Soon after Kamal Nath's resignation, Jyotiraditya Scindia took a sharp jibe at his ex-party colleague. 'People have won today in MP, says Jyotiraditya Scindia. "I have always believed that politics should be the medium of public service, but the state government had deviated from this path. Truth has won again. Satyamev Jayate," Scindia said on Twitter.
Meanwhile, the Congress on Friday said democracy has been defeated by "hotel diplomacy" in Madhya Pradesh, after Kamal Nath resigned as the state chief minister. Over 15 months after taking over, Nath resigned from the top post. The resignation came a day after the Supreme Court ordered the state assembly Speaker to conduct a floor test by 5 pm on Friday. "Today democracy (was) defeated by hotel diplomacy," Congress spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi said on Twitter. Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said the state has witnessed blatant killing of democracy in broad daylight. "What we have witnessed today in #MadhyaPradesh is a blatant killing of democracy in broad daylight. Dismantling the democratically elected government for the lust of power has become a habit for the BJP," he said on Twitter. Congress general secretary Avinash Pande said, "CM Madhya Pradesh Kamal Nath resigns, and along with it dies the concept of democracy and elections."
