After having upset at his differences with former Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, Chief Minister Kamal Nath here on Tuesday laughed off on talks of his differences with Scindia. “I never get angry with Shivraj Singh Chouhan so forget about being upset with Scindia,” Nath said, while addressing a seminar organised by the Madhya Pradesh Government.
Noted economist Montek Singh Ahluwalia addressed the seminar at Minto Hall in Bhopal.
“He (Scindia) had said something and I said what I had to say. It’s not a big deal,” Nath said apparently referring to Scindia’s remarks of taking to streets if the Vachan Patra is not implemented. An upset Nath had responded to this by saying, “Toh utar jayen (let him take to streets).
After this, speculations were rife that there has been a tug of war between the two senior leaders in the State.
For the time being, NPR would not be implemented in Madhya Pradesh, said Nath, adding that the State would ponder over the subject.
Scindia had been highly critical of the Nath Government of late on several key issues primarily on farm loan waiver which is yet to be completed.
Earlier reports of Scindia walking out of the co-ordination committee meeting, held at Nath’s Delhi residence, had been reported which was later denied by his close aides.
