Kamal Nath-led Congress government in Madhya Pradesh plunged into a political crisis as a sulking Jyotiraditya Scindia, along with 17 MLAs,virtually revolted prompting him to call a late-night cabinet meeting where around 20 ministers resigned reposing faith in his leadership. Out of the 28 ministers, 20 were present at the cabinet meeting, besides the chief minister.

According to reports, the party say barring the eight ministers of Jyotiraditya Scindia camp have made way for Chief Minister Kamal Nath to reconstitute the ministry while the crisis showed no signs of being resolved at midnight.

Nath alleged that the BJP was adopting immoral ways to"destabilise my government" and vowed not to let it happen.Meanwhile, former Chief Minister and BJP leader Shivraj Singh Chouhan has saidthe party has nothing to do with the crisis. "This is Congress's internalmatter and I would not like to comment on it. We had said on the first day that we are not interested in bringing down the government,"

For uninitiated, on December 13 2018, Rahul Gandhi hadtweeted a Leo Tolstoy quote with Scindia and Kamal Nath by his side. "Thetwo most powerful warriors are patience and time," Rahul had tweeted then.15 months later, it seems that patience is running out for one of his warriors.
