Digvijaya Singh Rules Out Third Rajya Sabha Term Amid SC Representation Push
- •Veteran Congress leader Digvijaya Singh announced he will not seek a third Rajya Sabha term, with his current tenure ending on April 9, 2026.
- •His decision follows a request from Madhya Pradesh Congress SC wing president Pradeep Ahirwar to nominate an SC representative for the seat.
- •Singh stated, "I am vacating my seat (Rajya Sabha)" when asked about Ahirwar's letter, supporting the call for Dalit political participation.
- •The move aligns with Rahul Gandhi's vision to rebuild Congress by promoting young leaders and strengthening grassroots organization.
- •Singh, a two-term Rajya Sabha MP and former MP CM, will focus on organizational work and a Narmada Parikrama before elections.
Why It Matters: Digvijaya Singh steps aside from Rajya Sabha, backing SC representation and Congress's youth-focused rebuilding efforts.
