Congress leader Digvijaya Singh has sparked a fresh controversy with a post on social media, praising the BJP's organisational strength. He shared an old photograph of Prime Minister Narendra Modi with BJP veteran LK Advani, saying it showcases the power of grassroots organisation. The undated picture shows PM Modi, former BJP chief LK Advani, and others attending a public rally. Digvijaya, a self-proclaimed stalwart of the Congress party, lauded the BJP's ability to elevate its workers from the ground up to prominent leadership positions. However, the BJP has seized on the post as an opportunity to take a jibe at the Congress party. BJP leaders Sudhanshu Trivedi and CR Kesavan have responded to Digvijaya's remark, with Trivedi invoking former US President Barack Obama's criticism of Rahul Gandhi and Kesavan accusing the Congress of running in a dictatorial manner. In response to the backlash, Digvijaya clarified that his post was misunderstood and that he was, in fact, a staunch opponent of the BJP and Prime Minister Modi. He reiterated his call for reforms within the Congress party, urging Rahul Gandhi to adopt more decentralised and pragmatic functioning. The controversy comes a week after Digvijaya openly called for reforms and decentralised functioning within the Congress party. The BJP's swift response has raised questions about the Congress party's internal dynamics and its ability to address its organisational weaknesses. As the debate continues, one thing is clear: Digvijaya's post has exposed the deep-seated divisions within the Congress party and its struggles to adapt to a changing political landscape. The BJP, meanwhile, sees an opportunity to capitalise on the Congress's internal weaknesses and bolster its own organisational strength.
