Digvijay Singh Has Made A Resolute Decision To Step Down From Stage?

The former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Digvijay Singh, has chosen to forgo the elevated position traditionally occupied by leaders and instead will join the ranks of the party workers. In a move that reflects a shift in priorities, he has proposed that the stage be bestowed upon the grassroots members, allowing them to take the helm of the event source says. 

In recent times, it has often been observed that leaders and party workers clash for prominence on stage, resulting in chaos that sometimes culminates in a literal fall from grace as the structure becomes overwhelmed. This new approach aims to mitigate such turmoil. Digvijay pointed out that this decision is part of a long-standing tradition within the party, citing how Rahul Gandhi, during his tenure as party president, frequently preferred to sit among the crowd rather than on the podium. Similarly, Sonia Gandhi has always chosen to occupy a lower profile, creating opportunities for newer faces and emerging leaders to shine source says. 

Drawing inspiration from Mahatma Gandhi, who famously preferred the simplicity of sitting on a chatai rather than on a formal chair, Digvijay emphasized that his choice is rooted in respect for the party’s foundational ethos. He insists that this is not merely a spur-of-the-moment decision or one born from discontent; instead, it is an affirmation of the party’s commitment to its workers. As he prepares to sit alongside them at the upcoming convention on April 28, he reassures that this act is a continuation of a cherished tradition, honoring the true spirit of the Congress party—one that champions the voices and contributions of its dedicated workers source says.
