After triggering a political row with an unexpected praise of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Rashtriya Seva Sangh (RSS) , senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on Saturday clarified that he remained firmly opposed to the RSS\u2019s ideology. The Congress Rajya Sabha MP claimed that he opposes the right wing outfit because it does not follow the Constitution. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey do not follow the Indian Constitution. The RSS is an unregistered organisation and the way it spreads hatred against minorities, I am against it,” he said while speaking to NDTV. <\/p>\n

However, he further acknowledged RSS\u2019 strong organisational network. When asked whether the Congress could learn from the RSS\u2019s organisational capabilities, Singh agreed and praised its grassroots reach. <\/p>\n

\u201cRSS workers are so effective that they can go from house to house and sell a comb to a bald person,” he told the news outlet. <\/p>\n

Earlier today, the Rajya Sabha MP while highlighting the organisational strength of the Sangh-BJP ecosystem, shared a photo of Prime Minister Narendra Modi from 1995 in which he is seen sitting on the ground, near the feet of then BJP president LK Advani, during the swearing-in ceremony of then Gujarat Chief Minister Keshubhai Patel.<\/p>\n

In his post, Singh said he was impressed by how grassroots workers of the RSS and BJP could rise to become a Chief Minister and eventually the Prime Minister, calling it \u201cthe power of the organisation”.<\/p>\n

The post quickly drew attention as the Congress has often criticised the BJP and the RSS on several issues, making Singh\u2019s remarks stand out sharply from the party\u2019s usual line.<\/p>\n

The BJP was quick to seize on Singh\u2019s post. Party spokesperson CR Kesavan taunted the Congress leadership and said the tweet had exposed how the party was run in an \u201cautocratic and undemocratic” manner.<\/p>\n

Another BJP spokesperson, Pradip Bhandari, went further, saying the post showed open dissent within the Congress. \u201cDigvijay Singh openly dissents against Rahul Gandhi. He makes it clear that under Rahul Gandhi the Congress organisation has collapsed. Congress vs Congress on display,” Bhandari said.<\/p>\n

However, when asked about his post, the veteran Congress leader said, \u201cI have only praised the organisation. I have always opposed the RSS and Prime Minister Modi. I remain against the policies of the RSS and Modi ji.”<\/p>\n
