Just after taking charge as Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister, Kamal Nath has provoked a controversy by blaming outsiders from other states for taking away local jobs while proposing incentives for industries who employ men from the state. The BJP has demanded that he apologies to migrants from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Reacting sharply to the statement, Union Minister Giriraj Kishore of the BJP said Kamal Nath should clarify what he meant and Rahul Gandhi should apologies to the people of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.
