How far did the war of words between Shivraj’s son and Digvijay Singh go?
The war of words between former Madhya Pradesh CM Digvijay Singh and Shivraj Singh Chauhan’s son Kartikeya Singh Chauhan is making headlines. Where Digvijay Singh advised Kartikeya to learn from his father Shivraj. Karthikeya has said that it is a matter of good luck that Digvijay Singh listens to me.
First, do you understand what the whole deal is?
Assembly by-elections are being held in Budhni, Madhya Pradesh. This seat fell vacant after Shivraj Singh Chauhan was elected MP. From here, the BJP has deployed Ramakant Bhargava near Shivraj. Raj Kumar Patel, close to Digvijay, is in the fray on the Congress side.
During Ramakant Bhargava’s campaign, Karthikeya gave a speech that is very viral on social media. Karthikeya said if Congress comes, not a single brick of development will be laid.
He even said that Budhni, if we lose, with what mouth will we talk about development? Digvijay wrote a post about this video of Kartikeya on social media.
Digvijay said Karthikeya should learn from his father before giving such speeches. In democracy, both the government and the opposition cooperate together in building India. I have also been Chief Minister for 10 years, but I have never used this kind of language. Your father is a witness.
Diggi Raja further wrote: As per the Panchayati Raj Act, the responsibility of carrying out construction work lies with the Sarpanch and not with the MLA. Karthikeya is neither an MLA nor a Sarpanch at the moment.
Karthikeya replied to Digvijay
When reporters asked Karthikeya about this, he said that Digvijay Singh has been the Chief Minister for 10 years. He has been Secretary General of Congress and is a high-ranking leader. It is fortunate for me that they listen to my speech. I’m talking about development, something that congressmen don’t do.
There was talk of Kartikeya’s fight.
There was talk that Karthikeya would contest from the Budhni seat, which fell vacant due to the resignation of Shivraj Singh Chauhan. It was Karthikeya who took the lead here in the assembly elections of 2023. However, at the last minute the ticket was given to Ramakant Bhargava.
Karthikeya is Shivraj’s eldest son and has been active in Bharatiya Janata Party politics for a long time.
