Will contest LS polls from Guna if party asks, says Digvijaya Singh

Veteran Congress leader and Rajya Sabha MP Digvijaya Singh, who does not spare any opportunity to attack Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, has expressed his willingness to contest 2024 Lok Sabha elections against the latter, if asked by the party. Digvijaya was responding to media queries during a press conference on Tuesday. Asked if he would contest the general election from Guna, Digvijaya responded by saying he is a Rajya Sabha MP, but he belongs to Guna and as a Congress member, he would follow the party’s instructions. “See, I will do anything the party orders me to, ” he said, adding that he was a Rajya Sabha member presently and there was no need for him to contest the general elections. “But, I am a soldier of the party and would do whatever the party directs me to, ” Digvijaya added. Notably, Guna is the home district of Digvijaya Singh who holds command in the politics of Guna and Raghogarh. He is currently touring 66 Assembly segments identified as “vulnerable” by the Madhya Pradesh Congress on the basis of multiple electoral losses in the past.
