Taking a dig at Congress leader Kamal Nath, who has been deputed as the party observer in Maharashtra in the wake of a political crisis there, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said it was "amusing" to see someone who "failed to save his own government" in MP now trying to rescue the Shiv Sena-led dispensation in the neighbouring state.

The Congress on Tuesday deputed Nath as the AICC observer in Maharashtra after Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde rebelled against his party along with a group of party MLAs and independent legislators, pushing the Uddhav Thackery-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government, of which NCP and Congress are also constituents, to the brink of collapse.
