Madhya Pradesh CM Kamal Nath on Saturday expressed his wish that his party leader Digvijaya Singh must contest the Lok Sabha elections and said that if he decides to do so, he should go for the 'toughest seat' in Madhya Pradesh. Quoting 3-4 seats which Congress has been unable to secure in last 30-35 years, the Madhya Pradesh CM didn't specifically talk about a single seat from where Digvijaya SIngh should contest.
Digvijaya Singh is a veteran leader who is currently serving as a Rajya Sabha member. He has been the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh and has been elected MP multiple times.
"I have requested Digvijaya Singh that if he wants to contest Lok Sabha polls, then he should do so from the toughest seat. There are 2-3-4 seats from where we have not won elections since the last 30-35 years," Mr Nath was quoted as saying by the news sources.
