Cong Appoints Kamal Nath As AICC Observer To Maha Amid Political Crisis

Mumbai: Congress has appointed senior party leader and former Madhya Pradesh CM Kamal Nath as the AICC observer to handle the political crisis in Maharashtra. The Congress’s decision to rush Nath to Maharashtra is aimed at defusing the crisis currently faced by the ruling Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance.

Eknath Shinde, one of the top ministers, went out of communication and was later reported to be in Surat, Gujarat with over 20 MPs.

“The Congress President has deputed Kamal Nath as All India Congress Committee (AICC) Observer with immediate effect in view of the recent political developments in the state,” an official communication from the Congress said.

In the MVA government in Maharashtra, Congress shares power with the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and the Shiv Sena.

A day after the MVA’s defeat on one of the six seats in the state legislative council polls, senior Shiv Sena leader and minister Shinde has gone incommunicado, a party leader said.
