Recent rumors suggesting Congress MP Manish Tewari’s potential defection to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have been swiftly debunked by his office, labeling them as “baseless” and “unfounded”. This clarification comes in response to earlier reports hinting at Tewari’s alleged communication with the BJP and contemplation of contesting the Ludhiana Lok Sabha seat in Punjab under the BJP’s banner.

India Today reported Tewari’s office stating, “The speculation that he will join the BJP is baseless and unfounded. Manish Tewari is in his constituency and looking after development work there. Last night, he stayed at a Congress worker’s home.”

Earlier reports had suggested a potential collaboration between Tewari and the BJP, fueling speculations of his departure from the Congress party. The timing of these rumors coincided with ongoing speculation surrounding the possible defection of former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath, his son Nakul, and other MPs to the BJP ahead of the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.

However, Jitu Patwari, the Madhya Pradesh Congress chief, dismissed such rumors as unfounded, expressing skepticism regarding Kamal Nath’s purported inclination towards the BJP, even in hypothetical terms.

Speculation surrounding Kamal Nath’s political future intensified following reports of his dissatisfaction over not securing a seat in the Rajya Sabha. His recent arrival in Delhi has further fueled conjecture, with reports suggesting ongoing discussions with BJP leadership regarding a potential switch in allegiance.

Addressing reporters in the capital, Kamal Nath himself emphasized transparency, stating that any decision regarding his political affiliation would be communicated to the media first.

As political dynamics continue to evolve, these developments underscore the complexities and uncertainties inherent in Indian politics, where alliances and allegiances can shift rapidly, leaving room for intense speculation and conjecture.
