NEW DELHI: Twenty-two Congress legislators, whose resignations triggered a political crisis in Madhya Pradesh and led to the fall of the Kamal Nath government, joined the BJP on Saturday.The rebel MLAs were formally inducted into the party by BJP chief J P Nadda. Former Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia was also present.Apart from Scindia, two key leaders of Madhya Pradesh - Narendra Tomar and Kailash Vijayvargiya - were also present at the meeting.Kamal Nath on Friday quit as the chief minister of Madhya Pradesh, hours before the Supreme Court-ordered floor test deadline, as his government stared at a certain defeat in the assembly after the Speaker accepted the resignation of all 22 rebel MLAs.After former Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia quit the Congress, 22 MLAs, most of them loyal to him, had resigned from the asembly. After their resignations were accepted, it brought down the tally of the Congress to 92.The BJP said it had nothing to do with the political developments saying it was a fallout of the factionalism in the Congress.
