Congress veteran Digvijaya Singh on Thursday expressed confidence his party will form the next government in Madhya Pradesh under the leadership of former CM Kamal Nath and mocked the ruling BJP, calling it a divided house in the central state, where assembly polls are due by the year-end.
Singh said the saffron outfit is divided in three factions -- "Shivraj BJP (Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan), Maharaj BJP (a reference to Jyotiraditya Scindia who hails from a royal family) and Naraj BJP (disgruntled members in the party)".
The Rajya Sabha MP said he does not want to be chief minister again.
"I don't want to become chief minister, but MP Congress president Kamal Nath will be the chief minister (if Congress wins). Poll tickets would be given on the basis of a survey for which a team is on the job," the veteran Congress leader told reporters in Singrauli while responding to a query on whether he would become the next CM if his party wins.
"There are three types of saffron people in the state -- Shivraj BJP, Maharaj BJP and Naraj BJP," he said.
Singh accused the 'Shivraj and Maharaj factions of the BJP' of indulging in corruption and claimed the third "faction" comprises people who formed the Bharatiya Jan Sangh (earlier avatar of BJP) and activists who are ignored by the party.
