'Floor test will have to be done sooner or later': Shiv Sena enters MP muddle; warns Cong

Amid the high octane political drama in Madhya Pradesh in which the governor of the state Laliji Tandon had directed Chief Minister Kamal Nath to conduct floor test on Tuesday, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut has opined that the Chief Minister will have to obey orders of the governor as the former cannot escape it and the floor test will have to be conducted sooner or later. "Floor test will have to be done today. If the Governor has given orders then it will have to be done. If not today, then tomorrow or day after, you will have to conduct the floor test," Raut said while speaking with ANI, just a little before the Supreme Court agreed to hear the BJP's plea towards this and issued notice to the MP Speaker and government.

"If the political crisis in Madhya Pradesh is resolved, then the country will know how the central government is trying to destabilise the state governments. They tried it in Maharashtra, but we outplayed them. Madhya Pradesh has some weakness, but with eminent leaders like Kamal Nath and Digvijaya Singh, there is still some hope of a turnaround," Raut added.
