Senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh announced that the party will field candidates under Umang Singhar and Jeetu Patwari for the 2028 Madhya Pradesh assembly election, while taking aim at the BJP's Hindutva rhetoric and farmer issues.
Senior Congress stalwart Digvijay Singh addressed the media in Madhya Pradesh, stating that the party will contest the 2028 state assembly election under the leadership of veteran legislators Umang Singhar and Jeetu Patwari. Singh emphasized that the two leaders will guide the Congress campaign across the state, aiming to present a unified alternative to the ruling party.
In his remarks, Singh criticised the Bharatiya Janata Party for promoting Hindutva ideology and for what he described as inadequate attention to farmer distress. He also highlighted concerns over the party's stance on the Special Investigation Report (SIR), suggesting it undermines accountability.
The congressman further expressed disagreement with comments made by Dhirendra Shastri, indicating a divergence of views within the opposition on strategic approaches ahead of the 2028 polls. Singh's statements come as the Congress prepares its candidate list and campaign strategy for the upcoming election cycle.
No official candidate list has been released yet, and the party is expected to finalize its slate in the coming months. The announcement signals an early consolidation of leadership within the state unit as the electoral calendar moves forward.
