Congress Confident of 2028 MP Election Victory Under New Leadership

Madhya Pradesh, November 10, 2026 - Former Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh has made a significant claim regarding the upcoming assembly elections. Speaking to the media in Guna, he clarified that the Congress party will contest the 2028 Madhya Pradesh assembly elections under the joint leadership of state president Jitu Patwari and Leader of Opposition Umang Singhar. He dismissed reports of any factionalism within the Congress, asserting complete unity in the party.

Criticism of BJP Policies and Ideology

During his interaction, Digvijaya Singh sharply criticized the policies and ideology of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He stated that the way the BJP is promoting Savarkar's Hindutva works to divide society rather than unite it. He also emphasized the fundamental ideological differences between the Congress and the BJP. The former Chief Minister described senior Congress leader Sonia Gandhi's appreciation for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's struggle as a mark of her magnanimity.

Government Grilled Over Farmers' Power Woes

Addressing farmers' issues, Digvijaya Singh accused the government of failing to provide adequate electricity for agriculture in the state. He also targeted Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, questioning why farmers' problems remain unresolved despite him being the Member of Parliament from Guna and a Union Minister. Singh also placed the responsibility of clearing illegal encroachments in Guna on the current BJP government.

Comments on Religious Leaders and Electoral Rolls

Expressing his candid views on religious and political matters, Digvijaya Singh conveyed his disagreement with the statements made by Dhirendra Krishna Shastri. He sarcastically remarked that leaders who organized religious discourses had faced electoral defeat. Regarding the special intensive revision of voter lists, he supported Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and sought clarification from the Election Commission on the matter. He also clarified that his 'Satya Sanatan Swabhiman Yatra' is entirely non-political. These statements have sparked new discussions in the state's political landscape.
