I was against Modi-RSS earlier also, am there today and will be so in future also…Digvijay Singh clarified on the questions raised after the post.

New Delhi: Just before the Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting, a social media post by senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh suddenly became the cause of a political storm. In this post, while referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and organizational strength, he made such remarks, which drew sharp reactions inside and outside the Congress. The matter escalated so much that now Digvijay Singh himself had to come forward and give clarification.

Why was there an uproar after the tweet?

Actually, Digvijay Singh had shared an old picture of Prime Minister Modi on X (formerly Twitter). In this picture, Modi is seen sitting near the feet of senior BJP leader LK Advani. Along with this photo, Digvijay Singh had written, “The grassroots volunteer of RSS and the grassroots worker of BJP sat down and became the Chief Minister and then the Prime Minister. This is the power of the organization.” This post created a stir in political circles. Many Congress leaders and supporters saw this as a praise for Prime Minister Modi and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, which increased the uneasiness within the party.

What did Digvijay Singh say in clarification?

After the controversy over the tweet, Digvijay Singh responded to the same post and tried to clarify the situation. He said that his words have been misunderstood. Digvijay Singh said that I am a supporter of the organization, but I am a staunch opponent of RSS and Prime Minister Modi. I have only talked about the strength of the organization. I was against RSS, PM Modi and their policies earlier also, am still today and will remain so in future too. He reiterated that his statement should not be seen as any kind of political endorsement.

Discussion of pressure within the party

There is also a strong discussion in political circles that Digvijay Singh had to face criticism within the party for his tweet. It is believed that due to this pressure he had to give a public clarification. Many Congress leaders were said to be angry that on an important occasion like the CWC meeting, such a message could go beyond the party line.

Organization versus ideology debate

Even after Digvijay Singh’s clarification, this debate has not stopped. Many political analysts believe that his tweet directly points towards the weakness of the grassroots level within the Congress organization. His message could be that it is difficult to reach power without a strong cadre and organizational structure. However, Digvijay Singh has made it clear that praising the organization does not mean supporting the ideology of BJP or RSS.

Statement before CWC meeting

This entire controversy came to light at a time when the Congress Working Committee meeting was being held and the party was deciding the strategy for the upcoming political conflicts. In such a situation, both Digvijay Singh’s tweet and his clarification on it became a big topic of discussion in the internal politics of Congress.

message in politics

Overall, this episode of Digvijay Singh once again shows how important words and signals are in politics. He may have talked about the strength of the organization, but its political meaning was extracted at many levels. Now after his clarification, it is clear that he considers himself an ideological opponent of RSS and Prime Minister Modi, but at the same time he considers organizational strength to be necessary for any political party.
