Overview
- Rajya Sabha MP Digvijaya Singh posted a vintage photo of a young Narendra Modi and wrote that his rise showed the “power of the organisation,” adding “Jai Siya Ram.”
- He said he found the image on Quora, and news reports describe it as showing Modi seated on the floor near LK Advani at a Gujarat event, believed to be the 1996 Vaghela swearing-in.
- The post was widely read as a pointed message toward Congress leadership as the party’s top committee met, with no detailed official response from Congress reported.
- BJP spokesperson CR Kesavan called the episode proof of “autocratic and undemocratic” functioning in Congress, while Pradip Bhandari said “Congress vs Congress” was on display.
- Singh later said he was praising organisational discipline and reiterated his opposition to the RSS and Prime Minister Modi.
