My father not meddling in MP govt's affairs: Digvijaya's son

Madhya Pradesh minister and senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh's son Jaivardhan on Tuesday said Chief Minister Kamal Nath was the "sole power centre" in the state and his father was not meddling in the affairs of the party-led government.

His statement came a day after MP Forest Minister Umang Singhar accused Digvijaya Singh of "destabilising" and "blackmailing" the eight-month-old Congress-led government.

Singhar had told reporters that Digvijaya Singh was running the government from behind the curtain, which is known to everyone, including Congress workers.

Jaivardhan Singh, however, denied charges made by Singhar against his father, a two-time chief minister.

Speaking to reporters here, Jaivardhan Singh said, "I want to put it on record that the chief minister is the only power centre of the Congress in MP.

"We and all Congress MLAs follow his orders in a disciplined manner. The CM hears out our views."
