Shivpuri (MP), Jul 5 (PTI) Madhya Pradesh minister and BJP leader Narottam Mishra said on Sunday that the resignation of rebel Congress MLAs, which led to the fall of the Congress government in the state earlier this year, was a political development and there were no financial deals involved in it.
He said this while addressing a function at Bairad town in the district.

Before his speech, newly-appointed minister and one of the former Congress MLAs Suresh Dhakad Rathkheda said that some people were accusing him of getting money for the resignation and for joining the BJP.
However, Mishra in his address said, "This was a political pact. Rathkheda was associated with Jyotiraditya Scindia (former union minister). This development was a pact between two big politicians."
"Rathkheda showed his loyalty to Scindia, who was being humiliated in the Congress. So, they left the Congress and the Kamal Nath government collapsed. This was a political development and not a financial one," the state Home Minister said.
Rathkheda was not offered any money for his resignation, he added.
The resignation of 22 Congress in March this year has reduced the Congress government to a minority, leading to its collapse. Kamal Nath resigned as the chief minister on March 20, following which the BJP formed the government in the state. PTI COR ADU NP NP 07052231 NNNNd compensated only for matches already completed.
"I just thought about it, and I was like: I'm a player, I got to Greenbrier and I'm there for eight days and, God forbid, someone gets sick and tests positive. Is it really the player's fault? Should they only get paid for eight days?" Silva told the AP.
"And I just said, 'No, I think that's silly. They should just get paid whatever they were going to get paid for the regular season.'" The same full-pay policy applies to players who get injured during WTT.
There will be two daily temperature checks for all spectators; no ball kids; a chair umpire aided by electronic line calling instead of line judges; and no high-fives or handshakes between opponents.
Rosters include Grand Slam title winners Kim Clijsters, Sloane Stephens, Sofia Kenin and the Bryan brothers.
Instead of playing matches around the country this year, the WTT is putting everyone in one place because of the coronavirus pandemic. (AP)
