Speaking in the Assembly, Nath, while pointing to his party MLAs, said, "None of the MLAs sitting here are for sale. Kamal Nath's government will run for five years in full force."
In reply, Madhya Pradesh Leader of Opposition Gopal Bhargava said if directed by his party's top brass, the government won't last even 24 hours. "If there will be an order from number 1 and number 2 above us, your government won't last for even 24 hours," the BJP leader said. "Your number 1 and number 2 are intelligent, that's why they are not giving an order. If you wish, you can move no confidence motion," Nath retorted.
Former MP CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan also said, "We will not cause the fall of government here (MP). Congress leaders themselves have been responsible for the fall of their governments.
Meanwhile, in a rude jolt to the BJP in MP, two of its MLAs — Narayan Tripathi and Sharad Kol, both former Congressmen, — backed the Congress government during voting on a bill in the Assembly on Wednesday.
