A BJP leader on Wednesday, 24 July claimed in the Madhya Pradesh Assembly that if the party's top leadership ordered, the Kamal Nath government in the state can be toppled within 24 hours.
The statement by Leader of Opposition Gopal Bhargava, coming a day after the collapse of the Congress-JD(S) regime in Karnataka, prompted chief minister Nath to state that he was ready to face a floor test anytime.
The exchange of barbs took place during the debate on a calling attention motion when the ruling Congress alleged that the previous BJP government led by Shivraj Singh Chouhan hired private helicopters and planes even when the state-owned aircraft lay unused.
