Bengaluru: Former minister DK Shivakumar on Wednesday said that no one can destroy Congress party.
Addressing pressperson here he Shivakumar said, “Leaders may come, leaders may go, that doesn’t make any difference. Our party can never be destroyed by anyone.”
His comment comes in the backdrop of Madhya Pradesh’s political crisis.
“All the Madhya Pradesh MLAs who are here don’t want to lose their membership. I am sure they will understand that and go back to save the government,” he added.
In a massive setback for the Congress, its prominent youth leader Jyotiradtya Scindia had quit the party and in a coordinated rebellion on Tuesday and 22 MLAs loyal to him also resigned in Madhya Pradesh, pushing the 15-month-old Kamal Nath government to the brink of collapse.
As many as 19 Madhya Pradesh MLAs, including six Ministers, said to be loyalists of Scindia who appeared set to join BJP, are camping at a resort here. Two of them were women, the sources said.
The MLAs on Tuesday sent their resignation letters via e-mail to Raj Bhavan in Bhopal from Bengaluru.
According to the sources, eight legislators including, an independent, have been staying in the city for about a week now. Of the two – one Congress and the independent – had gone back.
The six were joined by 13 legislators, who landed in the city by a chartered flight yesterday and all of them are put up in villa accommodation.
