Digvijaya Singh's 'Dalit Card' Shakes MP Congress, Foils Kamal Nath's RS Hopes

• Digvijaya Singh announced he won't contest Rajya Sabha elections, advocating for a Dalit or tribal candidate.
• This move is seen as a 'political trap' by Singh, disrupting the ambitions of Kamal Nath and other upper-caste leaders.
• Kamal Nath, reportedly eyeing a Rajya Sabha seat, faces a moral dilemma as Singh's 'Dalit card' makes his claim difficult.
• The 'googly' also impacts other upper-caste and OBC leaders like Jitu Patwari, Arun Yadav, and Meenakshi Natarajan.
• Singh's strategy revives his 24-year-old 'Dalit agenda', positioning him as a 'kingmaker' and 'messiah of Dalits' within the party.

Why It Matters: Digvijaya Singh's strategic 'Dalit card' for Rajya Sabha has reshaped MP Congress dynamics, challenging rivals.
