Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath Monday asserted there is no threat to his five- month-old Congress government and expressed readiness to take the floor test to prove his majority in the assembly.
Nath's statement came in the backdrop of Leader of Opposition Gopal Bhargava of the BJP writing to Governor Anandiben Patel on May 20, requesting a special session of the assembly to discuss pressing issues and also seeking division (voting) on financial matters.
A division of votes in the House will indicate whether the Congress government enjoys majority support or not.
"There is no threat to my government. Let the floor test takes place. We are ready for it," Nath told reporters.
The Chief Minister along with senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh and others arrived at Shivrajpur, Churhat near here to pay tributes to Saroj Singh, the wife of former Union minister, the late Arjun Singh.
Saroj Singh died in New Delhi two weeks ago and her last rites were conducted at the familys ancestral place in Churhat in Sidhi district.
Asked about the Congress's poor performance in Madhya Pradesh in the just concluded Lok Sabha elections, Nath said, "During the brief period that we got, we are unable to apprise people about the number of welfare schemes implemented for them."
