Indore: Madhya Pradesh Congress Party president is likely to be replaced soon amid the turmoil in the Congress organisation across the country following the embarrassing defeat in the Lok Sabha elections. A clear indication was given by CM Kamal Nath of the province on Saturday evening, who is also holding the additional charge of the state Congress president.

Asked about the speculation about the change of state Congress President, Kamal Nath said, "I resigned as the state Congress President just after I became the CM of Madhya Pradesh and asked the party high command to hand over the post of the organisation to another leader." Then I was asked to retain the post of state Congress President."

Kamal Nath, who became the state Congress president in April 2018, said, "... So the new Congress will become the state president. We have to fight the electoral machinery of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). To fight this, we have to build our own electoral machinery like this opposing party. Meanwhile, Shobha Ojha, head of the state unit of the media department of the Congress, said, "Kamal Nath is going to meet the Congress high command. The Madhya Pradesh Congress organisation will soon get a new president."
