Internal Crisis Grips Congress as Digvijaya Singh Praises RSS Discipline; Top Leaders Divided

​A fresh political storm has erupted within the Indian National Congress following senior leader Digvijaya Singh’s public acknowledgment of the RSS and BJP’s organizational discipline. The controversy began on December 27, 2025, when Singh shared a photo of PM Narendra Modi with LK Advani, noting how the RSS allows grassroots workers to rise to top positions—a remark seen as a veiled critique of the Congress’s own centralized power structure. Despite Singh’s subsequent clarification that he remains a “staunch opponent” of RSS ideology, the comments have exposed deep fractures, with some leaders supporting his call for reform and others equating the RSS to extremist organizations.
