Leak of Kamal Nath letter to Rahul Gandhi creates ripples in MP Congress

Bhopal: Congress leadership in Madhya Pradesh on Saturday began an internal probe to find out source of leakage of the letter written by MP party chief Kamal Nath to AICC president Rahul Gandhi urging him to attend the death anniversary of an OBC leader of the state on June 26 to woo people of the particular communities.

The party leadership here also reportedly sought to ascertain if the letter was leaked to the media intentionally to harm the image of Congress ahead of Assembly elections in the state, due in November this year, sources told this newspaper. The party however preferred to underplay the matter, officially. “It is no big issue”, party spokesman here Manak Agrawal said.

In an interesting twist to the development, a video went viral in social media on Saturday in which former MP Pradesh Congress Committee chief Arun Yadav was purportedly heard asking a man to share the letter with a person.
