Around 20 Madhya Pradesh ministers resigned during a cabinet meeting convened late Monday night following a political crisis in the state, reposing faith in Chief Minister Kamal Nath.
"We have resigned. Now it is up to the chief minister to take a call, MP Forest Minister Umang Singhar told PTI after emerging from the meeting.
Another minister, Sajjan Singh Verma, told reporters that around 20 ministers have resigned to express solidarity with the Chief Minister.
"The government will last its full five-year term and there was no political crisis, Public Relations Minister P C Sharma asserted.
The ministers have requested the chief minister to reconstitute the cabinet.
Earlier, Nath told the cabinet meeting, "I will not allow (anyone) to destabilise my government with the help of mafia."
