Amrita Rai and Digvijaya Singh: Has the Congress leader scored a self goal?

Digvijaya Singh a.k.a. Digvijay Singh sparked off yet another controversy when he accepted his relationship (read extra-marital affair) with TV anchor Amrita Rai after their photos flooded the social media. The former Madhya Pradesh chief minister has stated that he is also planning to marry her.

Well, how does a football team feels when a player scores a self goal, ha? The mood in the Congress camp now is palpable.  Leave the team, how does the player reacts after scoring it? Funny nah? But it’s the same feeling our great saint and divine minister Digvijaya Singh would be going through.

Digvijaya leaves no chance when it comes to making fun of his opponents. While accepting his affair he has landed himself in a soup. His controversial remarks against Narendra Modi’s marital status few days before hadn’t even died out when this episode of his own extra-marital affair swayed the social media.

A quick look at his stats currently: He is 67-years-old now. His wife Asha Singh, 58, passed away only last year in February after battling cancer for years. Digvijaya has a son, Jaivardhan Singh, who is a legislator from Madhya Pradesh and four daughters.  A person of such stature and with a family should have indulged in an affair?

Digvijaya Singh has always been spewing ferocious and unhealthy comments on his opponents. Life has come a complete circle, and Digvijaya has learnt it the hard way. Things were all well until couple of days before pictures of Amrita Rai and Digvijaya Singh appeared on social media. The intimate pictures of Singh with Rai were enough to spark off a controversy. When there was no escaping and the only topic all the tweeters were tweeting about and Facebook posts had Digvijaya Singh’s status, he tweeted accepting his extra marital affair.

How does a person tell people to not to talk about his private life when he himself left none? Everyone knows what derogatory remarks Singh used during the Asaraam episode. Recently, Singh took his views to twitter when Modi mentioned his wife’s name, Jashodaben, while filing his nomination papers in Vadodara. He went to an extent of telling to people that, vote against Modi. A person who is so perverse, talk about being private?

Once that is decided we would formalise it. But I do condemn encroachment in our private life.

Confirming this news Amrita Rai, the alleged partner (lover) in this affair tweeted about she being in relationship with Digvijay Singh.

The opposition didn’t miss out an opportunity to rebut Digvijaya who was all offensive against their prime ministerial candidate. BJP spokesperson, Meenakshi Lekhi said, “A new definition of morality has been given by the actions of senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh sahab. Those who preach lessons of morality should first practice what they are preaching to others.”

There were rumours that the pictures were leaked by Amrita herself, as Digvijay wasn’t agreeing to marry her. We cannot say anything now, but tough times are ahead for the couple in love. The twitteratti is all excited and the trend #DigVijaySingh is trending since then.

Is there a RSS hand behind this or the Internet Hindus? We’re yet to find out that. All we know is Diggy at 67 is up and all firing in his second innings.
