Jyotiraditya Scindia as the chief minister face of Madhya Pradesh.

Senior Congress leader Kamal Nath on Wednesday said he had no problems if the party projected MP Jyotiraditya Scindia as the chief ministerial face of Madhya Pradesh, which is scheduled to vote in 2018.  This is so far the clearest indication in Scindia’s favour. Nath said party vice-president Rahul Gandhi will take the final call.

“I have no problems with Jyotiraditya Scindia. In fact, I have recently said that he should be made the chief



ministerial candidate,’’ the Chhindwara Lok Sabha member told reporters in Guna. He repeated his views in Mungaoli. Elections are due in the state in 2018-end.

In Madhya Pradesh, the Congress had been out of power for 14 years. The state Congress had been a divided house with senior leaders Digvijaya Singh, Kamal Nath, Ajay Singh and Suresh Pachauri pulling in  different directions and at times joining hands to squeeze out a faction or a leader.
