"I will be with Congress till my last breath": Digvijay Singh refutes claims of his resignation
Congress leader and former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Digvijay Singh on Sunday dismissed the claims saying that he will be his party till his 'last breath'.
Speaking to ANI, Singh also hit out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and said that the ruling party of Madhya Pradesh indulges in 'fake works'.
«BJP indulges in fake works. I entered Congress in 1971 and I will be with the party till my last breath,» Singh said.
Notably, soon after the Congress Party released its first list of candidates for the MP assembly polls, a social media post went viral purportedly showing Digvijay Singh's resignation letter from the party.
The purported letter, addressed to party President Mallikarjun Kharge reads, «In my political journey of five decades, I had many experiences while being in Congress… But for the last few months, I have been hurt to see the disappointment of the top leadership towards the dedicated workers, and indifference in policy and leadership.
In Madhya Pradesh, instead of being a worker-centric party, the party has now become specific leader-centric. Because of this, I am finding myself uncomfortable.»
The viral letter further claimed that Digvijay Singh was not happy after the party did not consider the names given by him in the selection of candidates for the Madhya Pradesh elections.
«My self-respect has been hurt by not giving preference to loyal workers.
I have now reached a stage where I feel I can no longer live in such an unjust environment. I express my gratitude to all those who have supported me in my various party roles over the years.
With a heavy heart, I announce my decision to end my association with the party. I resign from all posts including primary membership of Congress.
