Stung by Karnataka, Goa, Congress rushes Scindia to Madhya Pradesh to avert any crisis

Bhopal: Alarmed over political developments first in Karnataka and then in Goa, the ruling Congress party in the state is making all efforts to keep its flock together.

A dinner was organised at the official residence of State Health Minister Tulsi Silawat on Thursday to show "unity" among various groups in the party. The dinner was attended by Chief Minister Kamal Nath, senior Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia, all the ministers and the MLAs of the party.

Besides them, the dinner was also attended by SP, BSP, and independent MLAs. The Congress government in the state enjoys a slim majority with their support. Though the Congress leaders have termed the dinner as "routine" development, many feel that the entire exercise was a well-crafted move to project that the party was a "united house".
