Congress leader Digvijaya Singh's remarks praising the organizational strength of the RSS and BJP have sparked internal debate within the party. While Singh emphasized the need for Congress to learn and strengthen its own organization, many party colleagues rejected the idea of learning from the RSS, highlighting ideological differences. Shashi Tharoor supported Singh's call for organizational strengthening and discipline within Congress, though he clarified he rejects the RSS ideology. The controversy has been seized upon by the BJP to target Congress leadership.
