Digvijaya Singh to Vacate Rajya Sabha Seat, Supports SC Representation

Veteran Congress leader and former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Digvijaya Singh announced he will not seek a third Rajya Sabha term, with his current tenure ending in April 2026. His decision follows a request from Madhya Pradesh Congress SC Department President Pradeep Ahirwar to reserve the seat for a Scheduled Caste representative, aiming to enhance Dalit political participation. The move aligns with Congress's broader strategy to promote younger leadership and strengthen grassroots organisation ahead of upcoming elections.
