Earlier on September 9, amidst an internal feud within the Congress regarding who would be the party's chief in Madhya Pradesh, Sonia Gandhi had called for a meeting with Kamal Nath and Jyotiraditya Scindia.

It was learnt that Sonia wants someone who has the support of both Kamal Nath as well as Scindia to become the Congress party chief in the state. To iron out differences within the party, she first met Scindia in an effort to learn about his preferences regarding the ideal candidate. Scindia himself was in the race but being openly opposed by senior party leader and former state chief minister Digvijaya Singh. It was learnt that even Kamal Nath was in favour of a tribal leader becoming the party chief in MP.

A worried Sonia had discussed the various disciplinary issues currently plaguing Congress in MP.

"We discussed the political situation in Madhya Pradesh. She expressed concerns over issues of indiscipline in the state. The matter was handed over to Congress discipline committee president AK Antony. Whoever has a complaint can approach him," Kamal Nath had said after the meeting.

Prior to that, a fresh issue had cropped up when supporters of Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia installed hoardings, demanding that the former Guna Member of Parliament be made the chief of the Madhya Pradesh unit of the Congress.
