Overview
- Posting a 1990s photograph widely linked to the 1996 Shankersinh Vaghela ceremony, Singh lauded the RSS-BJP pathway from grassroots worker to top office as the “power of the organisation,” signing off with “Jai Siya Ram.”
- He tagged the Congress handle, Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Jairam Ramesh and Narendra Modi, and the timing overlapped with a Congress Working Committee meeting that media described as the intended audience.
- Singh later told reporters his remarks were misunderstood, stressing he opposes the RSS and Modi and that he was only acknowledging organisational capacity, a point he expanded on in subsequent comments reported by ANI and NDTV.
- BJP spokespersons C. R. Kesavan and Pradip Bhandari labeled the post evidence of autocratic leadership and “open dissent,” as Sudhanshu Trivedi cited an Obama book reference to needle Rahul Gandhi and Prakash Javadekar claimed Congress remains family-run.
- Coverage noted Singh’s recent public push for decentralised reforms in the party and flagged political context in Madhya Pradesh, where his Rajya Sabha term ends early next year and a fresh nomination is uncertain.
