NEW DELHI: The Congress party suffered a major setback on Tuesday when one of its senior leaders Jyotiraditya Scindia resigned from the party along with 22 Congress MLAs from Madhya Pradesh. The Congress in the evening asserted that it has the support of required MLAs to prove majority in the state assembly and the government is not under any sort of threat."There is nothing to worry about, we will prove our majority. Our government will complete its term," said chief minister Kamal Nath."Meeting (legislative part meet) was good. All Congress MLAs, including independents, were present. We have the number, we'll fight this together. The government has no threat, we will prove the majority in the Assembly," said Congress leader Shobha Oza. Congress leader Laxman Singh seconded Oza's remarks. "Congress is ready to fight back if the need arises. We have 94 MLAs, nobody can break the morale of the party," he said.In a resolution passed in the Congress legislative party meet in Bhopal, the party leadership slammed Scindia's decision to quit the party. "Congress legislative party condemns the unfortunate manner in which attempt has been made to insult the people's mandate by satisfying the personal ambitions of Jyotiraditya Scindia," the resolution read. 'Around 100' MLAs including four Independents attended meeting, a minister said.A BJP legislative party meeting is underway at the party office in Bhopal. Union minister and MP from Damoh, Prahlad Patel, and other senior leaders of the party are present in the meeting.Leader of Opposition in state assembly Gopal Bhargava, Narottam Mishra, and other BJP leaders reach the residence of state assembly speaker NP Prajapati to submit the resignations of 19 Congress MLAs."I will take action according to the established procedure of the state assembly," Prajapati said after receving the resignation letters.As per the latest reports, 22 Congress MLAs from Madhya Pradesh have tendered their resignation by Tuesday evening. Congress MLAs from Sumawali (Morena) Adal Singh Kansana and Manoj Choudhary from Hatpipliya constituency in Dewas were the latest to send their resignations.Earlier, as many as 19 MLAs of the ruling Congress in Madhya Pradesh, most of them believed to be loyal to expelled party leader Jyotiraditya Scindia, sent their resignation letters via e-mail to Raj Bhavan. "We have received resignations of 19 MLAs through e-mails with attachments," a Raj Bhawan official told PTI.Jyotiraditya Scindia finally resigned from the primary membership of the party and sent his resignation letter to interim Congress president Sonia Gandhi. Prior to tendering his resignation, Scindia held an hour-long meeting with Union home minister Amit Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.The resignation is dated March 9, suggesting the decision was taken a day earlier.While tendering his resignation, he cited, "...as you well know, this is a path that has been drawing itself out over the last year." He added that he is "unable" to "serve" people have been a part of the Congress.He added that to respect the "aspirations of my people and my workers", he has taken this decision.On its part, the Congress expelled the party general secretary and scion of the erstwhile Gwalior royal family on charges of anti-party activities.Amid a political crisis in Madhya Pradesh, Shah and Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia were seen leaving from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Lok Kalyan Marg residence on Tuesday. At the PM's residence, the three leaders were huddled in a meeting for over an hour.On Monday evening, the Congress government in Madhya Pradesh plunged into a political crisis after a sulking Jyotiraditya Scindia, along with at least 17 MLAs, virtually raised a banner of revolt prompting CM Kamal Nath to call a late-night cabinet meeting where around 20 ministers present resigned reposing their faith in his leadership.Nath had cut short his Delhi visit and rushed to Bhopal where he had called the urgent cabinet meeting at around 10 pm after a faction led by senior leader Jyotiraditya Scindia who, along with at least 17 legislators, went incommunicado, sparking intense speculation about the fate of his government.Many of these legislators, including ministers, had flown to Bengaluru earlier in the day.Scindia, once considered a rising star of the party, has long been at loggerheads with Kamal Nath who belongs to the old guard. After narrowly winning the state Assembly elections in December 2018, Kamal Nath took over as chief minister.But trouble started brewing recently when Scindia's supporters in the government were side-lined, and it appeared that his ambitions to be the state Congress president were also thwarted. It was also clear that the central leadership was not ready to listen to his grievances.This weekend, Scindia and six ministers in the Kamal Nath Cabinet went to Bengaluru and became incommunicado. It then became clear that a rebellion was brewing in the party and Kamal Nath would lose the support of the six ministers as well as other MLAs loyal to Scindia.MP was one of the three major states where the Congress evicted BJP in the series of Assembly elections before the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.With Scindia quitting the party, the Congress government in Madhya Pradesh appeared headed for collapse as the former Guna MP has the support of at least 17 legislators.The Congress has a wafer-thin majority in the Madhya Pradesh Assembly whose current effective strength is 228. If the resignations of the 17 MLAs is accepted, the strength of the Assembly will fall to 211. The magic number for retaining the majority then will be 106. The Congress, however, will be left with 97 seats while the BJP has 104 seats. The Congress has the support of four Independents, two BSP and one SP MLA, but is unclear if they will continue to support Congress or go with BJP.
