Congress to appoint new chief in Madhya Pradesh soon

New Delhi: The Congress is expected to announce its Madhya Pradesh unit chief soon with Chief Minister Kamal Nath holding the post at present, sources said.
The decision is expected to put an end to perceived jostling for the post among senior leaders.
Sources said that party chief Sonia Gandhi has called state in-charge Deepak Babaria for discussions on the issue and a decision is expected in the coming days.
The party has seen factionalism over the past few months with a state minister making remarks against senior party leader Digvijaya Singh.
Supporters of party leader Jyotiraditya Scindia are keen that he is appointed to the post. However, supporters of Chief Minister Kamal Nath are pitching for his loyalists for the position.
Some of Scindia’s supporters in the Gwalior-Chambal region in the past have taken to the streets demanding his appointment as MPCC chief failing which they threatened to sever ties with the party.
