The rift between Kamal Nath and Digvijaya Singh, two senior Congress leaders, is deepening with each passing day. Reportedly, Singh's camp is so disgruntled with Nath's camp that they have voiced their discontent with the central leadership.
The faction is particularly displeased with Sajjan Singh Verma and Rajiv Singh, Nath's protégés, over the role they played in granting tickets to candidates in Indore-4, Astha, Jaora, Shujalpur and Narsinghgarh. They believe that the candidates chosen to contest from these constituencies are not winnable due to their close proximity with Verma.
The news of Rajiv Singh reportedly giving away B Form to Yogendra Bunty Bana for contesting polls from Shujalpur has further aggravated the faction. The party had given ticket to Ramveer Singh Sikarwar instead.
The widening rift between the two camps has forced Digvijaya Singh to drop his plan of touring Guna to Jhabua via Shajapur to pacify the dissent. His camp has now asked for a review on tickets granted in the party coordination meeting scheduled in New Delhi on October 28. The faction has already communicated their displeasure to Congress state incharge Randeep Singh Surjewala and national party president Mallikarjun Kharge.
In light of these events, the Congress is reportedly looking into candidates from Pachore, Shivpuri and some other seats. They are also considering giving tickets to deputy collector Nisha Bangre, whose resignation was recently accepted. It is yet to be seen how this affects the outcome of the MP elections 2023, where Shivraj Singh Chouhan is currently conducting a roadshow in Sehore.
