'Kamal Nath will be CM face if Cong voted to power in MP'

Surjewala, who joined as the Congress' election in-charge a few weeks ago, said this while responding to a question during a press conference here.Pointing towards Kamal Nath who was seated beside him, Surjewala responded: "Don't you see he is sitting here? Do you have any doubts about him?"Notably, when Kamal Nath's supporters put up banners projecting him as 'future chief minister' on January 1, some of the Congress leaders had then expressed their disappointment, saying the decision on CM's face would be decided by the elected MLAs.However, when asked whether Kamal Nath would contest the Assembly election, Surjewala said: "Decision on this would be taken by the party's central election committee."Kamal Nath, as the state party chief, did not contest the 2018 assembly polls but was sworn in as the CM after the Congress returned to power in the state.--IANSpd/pgh
