Lok Sabha Election: Senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh on Friday said the party has "indicated" that he may be fielded from Rajgarh Lok Sabha seat in Madhya Pradesh. Congress has not yet announced candidates for 19 out of 29 seats in the state, including Rajgarh. Asked whether he would contest the Lok Sabha elections from Rajgarh, Singh told reporters, "It has not been announced yet, but I have been given a hint."

'This choice is not for me...'

Answering another question, he said, "This will be the last election of my life and I hope that people will support me and the Congress." Sources are claiming that the Congress high command has asked him to contest the elections. He has also accepted this order. In this sequence, he has also started campaigning in his area Rajgarh. Now one of his videos is also going viral, in which he can be heard telling his workers that this election is not in their control. Therefore, their youth workers will have to contest this election.

He said, "No announcement has been made yet but I am told that I have to contest the elections. This election is not in my control because I am 75 years old, this election is the election of the youth, you have to contest it, this It will be fought in a very simple manner only at the booth. There is no need to make much noise or take out big rallies, everyone will fight it by just working hard at the booth."

Digvijay was elected MP from Rajgarh in 1984 and 1991.

Rajgarh is represented by BJP MP Rodmal Nagar, who won in 2014 and 2019. Nagar is also the BJP candidate in the general elections this time. Singh was elected MP from Rajgarh in 1984 and 1991. After he became the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh in 1993, the seat was held by his brother Laxman Singh from 1994 (by-election) to 2004. Laxman won the 2004 Lok Sabha elections from here on a BJP ticket but Singh's close aide Narayan Singh Amalabe defeated Laxman Singh in 2009. In 2014, Nagar defeated Amalabe and then retained the seat in 2019. (Language)
