Digvijaya Singh, a prominent Congress leader, has denied the viral claims of his resignation amid a controversy surrounding a purported resignation letter. The letter, which circulated on social media, allegedly states Singh’s intention to resign from the party citing various reasons. However, Singh has vehemently refuted these claims and accused the BJP of spreading lies.
The authenticity of the resignation letter has been questioned, as there are notable differences in the clarity and sharpness of the text and the letterhead. While the text appears clear, the details at the top, including Singh’s name and the Ashok Stambh emblem, are smudged and unclear. This has led to doubts about the legitimacy of the letter.
In response to the viral claims, Digvijaya Singh took to Twitter to express his disbelief and accused the BJP of spreading falsehoods. He clarified that he joined the Congress party in 1971 due to ideological alignment rather than for personal gain, and he remains committed to the party till the end of his life. Singh also announced his plans to file a police complaint against the spread of this false information.
The Madhya Pradesh Congress has also taken action against the BJP spokesperson Hitesh Vajpayee, lodging a written complaint with the cyber cell of the state police. As a result, an FIR (First Information Report) has been registered against an unidentified person under sections 469 and 501 of the Indian Penal Code.
Singh’s legal team has written to the chief election officer and the state election officer of Madhya Pradesh, urging them to take appropriate actions against those spreading hate and lies with the intention of tarnishing Digvijaya Singh’s image ahead of the upcoming elections. The team seeks to address these defamatory acts and ensure a fair electoral process.
With the 2023 assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh approaching, the controversy surrounding the alleged resignation letter has added another layer of complexity to the political landscape. Despite the viral claims, Digvijaya Singh remains a steadfast member of the Congress party and vows to continue his fight for what he believes in.
It is important to note that the authenticity of the viral resignation letter has not been confirmed, and Singh’s denial further raises doubts about its legitimacy. As the political climate heats up in Madhya Pradesh, it remains to be seen how this controversy will impact the upcoming elections and the fortunes of the various political parties involved.
