Digvijaya Singh to Vacate Rajya Sabha Seat, Focus on Madhya Pradesh Politics

Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh announced he will not seek a third Rajya Sabha term, with his current tenure ending in April 2026. Singh plans to focus on strengthening the Congress party at the grassroots level in Madhya Pradesh ahead of upcoming assembly elections. His decision follows a request from the state's Congress Scheduled Caste wing to nominate a Dalit representative to the Rajya Sabha, reflecting efforts to promote social representation and younger leadership within the party.
