(Image: PTI\/File) <\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"0\" class=\"story_para_0\">Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Digvijaya Singh met Rahul Gandhi in person at the Congress headquarters, Indira Bhavan, on Sunday during the party\u2019s Foundation Day celebrations. Their brief exchange soon became a talking point within party circles.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">According to sources, as the two leaders greeted each other, Rahul Gandhi jokingly told Digvijaya Singh, \u201cYou misbehaved yesterday!&#8221; The remark drew laughter from those standing nearby, including senior Congress leader Sonia Gandhi. The comment was made later in the day when party leaders had gathered for tea and snacks following the formal celebrations.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">The light-hearted moment came a day after Digvijaya Singh\u2019s social media post created unease within the Congress. On Saturday, ahead of a Congress Working Committee meeting, Singh shared an old photograph of Prime Minister Narendra Modi with BJP veteran Lal Krishna Advani, praising the organisational strength of the RSS-BJP ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">In his post, Singh wrote, \u201cI found this picture. It is very impressive. How a grassroots RSS volunteer and a Jan Sangh and BJP worker, sitting on the floor at the feet of leaders, became the Chief Minister of a state and the Prime Minister of the country. This is the power of organization. Jai Siya Ram.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">The post drew criticism from within the party. Congress leader Pawan Khera responded sharply, saying that Gandhi\u2019s organisation did not need lessons from Godse\u2019s organisation. Following the backlash, Digvijaya Singh clarified that he strongly opposes the ideology of the RSS and Prime Minister Modi, and that his remarks were limited to acknowledging organisational discipline, not political beliefs.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">Addressing party workers on Congress Foundation Day, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge appeared to indirectly respond to the controversy.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">He said, \u201cToday, on Foundation Day, I want to make one thing clear: those who say, \u2018Congress is finished,\u2019 I want to tell them\u2026 we may have less power, but our backbone is still straight. We have not compromised\u2026 neither on Constitution, nor on secularism, nor on the rights of the poor. We may not be in power, but we will not compromise&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">Kharge also stressed that the Congress has never sought votes in the name of religion. \u201cThe Congress has never spread hatred over temple-mosque issues. Congress unites, while the BJP divides. Congress kept religion as faith\u2026 but some people have turned religion into politics! Today, the BJP has power, but they lack truth\u2026 Congress is an ideology\u2026 and ideologies never die,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">The episode highlighted both internal differences and moments of camaraderie within the party on a day meant to mark its legacy and values.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-2487642046 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>December 28, 2025, 22:52 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-2487642046 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/politics\/\">politics<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> &#8216;You Misbehaved&#8217;: Rahul Gandhi Reacts To Digvijaya Singh\u2019s \u2018RSS-BJP\u2019 Praise<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
