Chhindwara:
A day after dismissing talk of him joining the BJP, veteran Congress leader Kamal Nath on Wednesday told party workers that he will not “impose” himself on them and will “leave” them if they want him to.
Addressing a meeting of party workers at Harrai in Chhindwara, his home turf in Madhya Pradesh, the 77-year-old leader said he has been receiving their love and trust for many years.
“If you want to bid farewell to Kamal Nath, it is your choice. I am ready to go. I do not want to impose myself. It is a matter of your choice,” the former MP chief minister told the gathering.

Mr Nath’s son Nakul Nath is a Lok Sabha member from the Chhindwara Lok Sabha constituency.
The senior Nath had already announced that Nakul would contest again from this seat.
The veteran politician, who represents Chhindwara assembly seat, said the BJP presents itself aggressively but Congress workers should not panic.
“We have to vote to secure the future, and I have confidence in all of you,” he said.
Mr Nath said the Lord Ram temple in Ayodhya belongs to everyone, and suggested that the BJP should not take credit for its construction.
He said, “Does the BJP own the Ram temple? It belongs to everyone including me. The temple was built with public money. The Supreme Court gave the verdict and since they (BJP) are in power, they have built the temple. Did.”
Mr Nath also said that he worships Lord Ram and has built a big temple dedicated to Lord Hanuman on land he owns in Chhindwara.
“We are religious people and keep our culture intact,” he said.
Amid speculation that he may join the BJP, the veteran politician on Tuesday dismissed it as a “media fabrication”.
Mr Nath told reporters on Tuesday, “You (media) are making such speculations and no one else is saying so. Have you ever heard from me? You run the news and ask me. You have to refute this news.” Needed.”
