Why Kamal is the best man for his state

He may not be a true-blue MP man but with his experience in infrastructure development and business, Kamal Nath is best placed to be the state's CM

He probably feels more at ease in London and New York. But Kamal Nath will now find himself sequestered in Bhopal and Indore. He has become Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, a state-level job that he has never held before. It will be interesting to see how he addresses the challenge. 

In a sense, Nath is a complete aberration. He has no family in politics but is the longest serving MP in the Lok Sabha and has been elected from his constituency, Chhindwara, nine times. He is a businessman in a party the top leaders of which still consider themselves socialist.
