Congress nominates Digvijaya Singh from Rajgarh in MP
New Delhi: With less than a month remaining before the commencement of the first phase of the Lok Sabha elections, the Congress party unveiled its fourth list of 46 candidates on Saturday, marking a significant stride in its election strategy.
The latest list features several notable figures, including former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Digvijaya Singh, Karti Chidambaram, and Danish Ali, the latter having recently joined the party on Wednesday. However, the list is also noteworthy for its exclusions.
Digvijaya Singh, currently serving as a Rajya Sabha MP, has been nominated as the Congress candidate from his erstwhile Lok Sabha constituency of Rajgarh in Madhya Pradesh.
Singh, a seasoned politician, had last tasted victory in a general election from the same constituency back in 1991. His decision to contest once again is poised to be a formidable challenge, particularly considering the Congress party's performance in the state during the 2019 elections, wherein it managed to secure victory in only one out of the 29 parliamentary seats. Notably, in the previous election, Singh contested against Pragya Thakur of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from the Bhopal constituency and suffered a defeat by a significant margin of over 3.5 lakh votes.
