The Rajasthan Congress has served a show‑cause notice to MLA Vishwaendra Singh, giving him seven days to explain his refusal to resign after announcing a farewell, intensifying an internal dispute.
Veteran Congress leader Vishwaendra Singh announced a farewell from active politics in early June, but later clarified that he would not submit a formal resignation, creating confusion within the state unit.
In response, the Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Committee issued a formal show‑cause notice on July 1, demanding a written explanation within seven days as per party rules.
Party officials said the notice aims to maintain discipline and assess whether Singh’s stance violates the Congress constitution, which requires members to follow collective decisions.
Analysts note that the episode could affect the party’s image ahead of upcoming local elections, as internal dissent may be exploited by rivals.
The Congress leadership has indicated that a decision on Singh’s future role will be taken after the deadline, pending his response.
