Digvijaya Singh Backtracks After Seeming Praise for BJP, RSS; Reaffirms Opposition to Sangh Ideology
New Delhi – Veteran Congress leader Digvijaya Singh has issued a clarification after a social media post sparked controversy, with some interpreting it as an endorsement of the BJP and its ideological parent, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
The post, which surfaced earlier today, drew criticism and provided ammunition to the BJP. Facing backlash, Singh quickly moved to clarify his position.
“While the interpretation of my recent post may have been different, let me be clear: I am against the ideology of the Sangh,” Singh stated. He emphasized that his opposition stems from the belief that the RSS’s principles are incompatible with the Indian Constitution.
The incident highlights the ongoing ideological battle between the Congress and the BJP-RSS combine. Singh’s swift attempt to retract the perceived endorsement underscores the sensitivity surrounding any perceived alignment with the Sangh Parivar within the Congress party. Further details of the controversial post have not been released.
