Madhya Pradesh minister Vishvas Sarang rebukes Digvijaya Singh’s Hindutva comments

Madhya Pradesh cabinet minister Vishvas Sarang took to the media on Monday to condemn former chief minister Digvijaya Singh for remarks that framed Hindutva as a tool of political division. Singh, a senior leader of the Congress party, had earlier suggested that the ideology was being used to polarise voters ahead of upcoming elections.

Sarang, who heads the state’s tourism department, described Singh's statements as "politics of division" that undermine social harmony. He urged political leaders to focus on development issues rather than resorting to communal rhetoric.

Political analysts noted that the exchange reflects the heightened tension between the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and the opposition Congress in the state, especially as both parties gear up for the next electoral cycle. The controversy is expected to fuel further debate on the role of Hindutva in Indian politics.
