Congress leader Digvijaya Singh
Carrying forward the soft Hindutva approach which has been part of his party’s recent election campaigns, senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh, a candidate from Bhopal Lok Sabha seat, has begun a temple run, reports New Indian Express.
Digvijaya launched his campaign offering prayers at the famous Shiva Mandir in the city’s Laal Ghati. He later also visited other famed shrines like the Maata Harsiddhi Mandir, Durga Mandir, Parshuram Mandir and Hanuman Mandir in the city. Digvijaya also sponsored a Srimadbhagavad Katha reading program.
After being made the Congress General Secretary, Priyanka Vadra too has embarked on a Temple run during her campaigns.
Meanwhile, BJP is yet to finalise its candidate against the Congress leader from the constituency. Union Minister Narendra Singh Tomar’s name is floating around strongly. Bhopal LS seat is BJP’s bastion since 1989.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.

Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
