Kamal Nath, Digvijaya not fighting for CM’s chair but for their sons, Modi says in Madhya Pradesh

The fight between two Congress leaders is not for the Chief Minister’s chair but to push their respective sons, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh’s Ratlam, in an apparent attack on State Congress chief Kamal Nath and former Chief Minister Digvijaya Singh. 

“There is a competition between two Congress leaders to tear each other’s clothes. And this is just the trailer, if they get a chance, they will also tear your clothes,” Mr. Modi said, referring to the “tear cloth” row that erupted between Mr. Singh and Mr. Nath in the State in October. 

“Their fight is not for the CM’s chair because they know that they are not going to win in M.P. This cloth-tearing tussle that is going on between them is about whose son will get a chance ahead and will capture the Madhya Pradesh Congress,” the PM said on his fourth visit in a month to the State that goes to polls in less than 15 days.
