Congress workers demanded the suspension of headmaster Mukesh Tiwari for calling CM Kamal Nath a dacoit after which Jabalpur District Collector Chhavi Bharadwaj took action against him.

The headmaster of a government school in Madhya Pradesh was suspended for allegedly making derogatory remarks about Chief Minister Kamal Nath. Mukesh Tiwari, the headmaster of government-run Kanishta Buniyadi Middle School had said Shivraj Singh Chouhan is ours and CM Kamal Nath is a dacoit. The video of his speech went viral on social media.

Later, Congress supporters met Jabalpur District Collector Chhavi Bharadwaj and demanded suspension of the headmaster and threatened that they will go to the education minister Prabhuram Choudhary if their demand is not met.

After examining the video, the teacher was prima facie found violating the Madhya Pradesh Civil Services (Conduct) Rules and was suspended from the post.

Ending the 15-year-old rule of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Madhya Pradesh Kamal Nath became the 18th chief minister of the state after party president Rahul Gandhi gave his approval supporting Nath for the top post.
