Digvijay Singh to contest Lok Sabha Polls from Bhopal

Bhopal : Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Digvijay Singh will be contesting the upcoming Lok Sabha Polls from Bhopal, said a report. The news comes days after he said that he has left a decision about his candidature on Congress President Rahul Gandhi.

A couple of days back Digvijay Singh was challenged by Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath to fight on the toughest seat of the state.

He further tweeted in Hindi, “To accept challenges is my habit. I won from Raghogarh despite the Janata Party wave in 1977. I am ready to contest the Lok Sabha elections from wherever my leader Rahul Gandhi ji says.”

Kamal Nath, addressing a press conference earlier, had said that there are some seats in Madhya Pradesh where Congress has not won in last 30 years and thus he wanted Digvijay Singh to fight on one of those.

BJP had won 27 out of total 29 Lok Sabha seats in the 2014 polls leaving the rest two seats to Congress.
