Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Digvijaya Singh recently stated that Jyotiraditya Scindia toppled the 15-month-old Congress government in 2020 because Scindia believed Singh was controlling the administration behind the scenes. Singh recalled a meeting in 2020 where Scindia gave Kamal Nath a list of pending issues from Gwalior and Chambal regions, which Nath allegedly did not address, leading Scindia to defect to the BJP. Kamal Nath, who led the Congress government that fell after 22 MLAs loyal to Scindia resigned, urged party leaders to move past the episode but acknowledged that Scindia's anger stemmed from the belief that Singh was running the government. The resignations caused the collapse of Nath's government and enabled the BJP's return to power. This exchange has renewed focus on the internal dynamics of the Congress party during that period, which continues to influence political narratives in Madhya Pradesh ahead of upcoming elections.
