MP political crisis: Jyotiraditya Scindia meets PM Modi in Delhi
New Delhi/IBNS: Giving more fuel to the speculations over his joining of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia on Tuesday met Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the latter's residence here amid the political crisis which has kept the Kamal Nath government in Madhya Pradesh on edge.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah is also present in the meeting.
The Congress-led Madhya Pradesh government fell into a crisis after more than 17 MLAs flew out to Bengaluru, a city in the BJP-ruled Karnataka.
If the 17 or more MLAs resign, the Congress government will immediately fall in Madhya Pradesh.
The current strength of 230-member Madhya Pradesh assembly is 228.
Out of 228, the Congress and its allies have 121 seats while BJP has 107 seats.
Meanwhile, Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi has called a meeting of her party leaders.
