Political Disputes Intensify: Digvijaya Singh vs. VD Sharma

Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh aimed a controversial 'impotence' jibe at Madhya Pradesh BJP chief VD Sharma, who labelled Singh's words 'unacceptable'. This exchange highlights the fierce political rivalry and differences in their stance on terrorism and rights of Scheduled Castes and Tribes.

Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh sparked controversy on Saturday by referring to Madhya Pradesh BJP chief VD Sharma with the term 'napunsakta' (impotence), following Sharma's claim that Singh supports terrorists. This remark was made during a press conference, where Singh expressed disappointment at Sharma's 'inaction'.

In response, Sharma rebuked Singh for using 'unacceptable' language and accused him of trying to undermine the rights of Scheduled Castes and Tribes through appeasement politics. Sharma emphasized that both he and the BJP oppose such actions and stand firm against Singh's political strategies.

The heated exchange underscores the deep tensions between the Congress and BJP, particularly regarding issues of terrorism and social rights. Sharma, representing the Khajuraho Lok Sabha seat, vowed to prevent Singh from 'snatching the rights of Dalits and tribals' amid these accusations.
