Bhopal: Amid political crisis in Madhya Pradesh, Governor Lalji Tandon has asked Chief Minister Kamal Nath to seek a trust vote in the State Assembly on Monday.
In a letter to the Chief Minister late last night, the Governor has directed Kamal Nath to seek the trust vote immediately after the Governor’s address in the Assembly.
The Budget Session of Madhya Pradesh Assembly will begin at 11 AM tomorrow with the Governor’s Address.
The move comes after a BJP delegation met the Governor last night and requested him to conduct a floor test in the Assembly.
BJP leaders Gopal Bhargava, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Narottam Mishra, and Bhupendra Singh were part of the delegation that met the Governor.
Earlier on Saturday, in a letter to Union home minister Amit Shah, Kamal Nath urged him to ensure the “release” of 22 Congress legislators he alleged were being held “captive” in Bengaluru.
“Please use your power as Union home minister so that 22 Congress MLAs held captive can safely reach Madhya Pradesh and participate in the Assembly session beginning from March 16 without any allurement and fear,” the letter said.
