DIGVIJAYA SINGH MAKES CONGRESS SQUIRM WITH HIS PULWAMA REMARK

leader Sanjay Raut claimed that Koshyari had offered to resign but the claim was refuted by the Raj Bhawan. This was in the backdrop of Koshyari calling Chhatrapati Shivaji as an icon of the past and calling Dr BR Ambedkar and Union Minister Nitin Gadkari as the modern-day icons.

He again hurt the Maratha pride when he said that Samarth Ramdas was the guru of Shivaji Maharaj contrary to the belief that the warrior’s mother was his guru. His earlier remark that Mumbai would cease to be the financial capital if people from Gujarat and Rajasthan were to leave the megapolis pitted the Marwaris against Marathis. His remarks against Jyotiba Phule and Savitribai Phule’s child marriage had also raised tempers. After several run-ins with the MVA government, the offer to resign could be in search of happiness as Koshyari once told a Jain spiritual leader that he never got happiness as governor. “Only unhappiness came my way,” he said.

day after former MP CM Digvijaya Singh raised the Pulwama terror attack and sought proof of the surgical strike deep inside the Pakistan Occupied Kashmir, the senior Congress leader got strong rebuff from Rahul Gandhi at whose Bharat Jodo Yatra the remark was made. “They are his personal remarks, not of the party,” Rahul Gandhi said. Another senior party leader Jairam Ramesh also tweeted that the views expressed by “Digvijaya do not reflect the position of Cong. Cong has supported and will continue to support all military actions that are in national interest”. Singh obviously had caused huge embarrassment to party which is not raising any issues which would help BJP.

If Digvijaya thinks that divisive issues will work in favour of Congress he is grossly mistaken. Polarisation will only drive majority community towards BJP. Since 2014 polarisation has made BJP’s stronger. Singh cannot match what BJP has to offer its voters.
