Congress General Secretary Digvijay Singh’s younger brother Laxman Singh has re-joined the party.
Congress General Secretary in-charge of Madhya Pradesh B. K. Hariprasad informed the State party unit President Kantilal Bhuria yesterday about the decision, an official release said today.
Bhuria congratulated Laxman Singh and said the party would further strengthen with his return.
Laxman had left the Congress in 2004 and after joining the BJP fought the 2004 Lok Sabha election successfully on its ticket from Rajgarh. However, he failed to retain the seat in 2009 elections and since then has been trying to return to the Congress.
Sources said a few days back a meeting of party workers was organised at Digvijay Singh’s residence in which it was decided to give a party ticket to Laxman’s son Aditya Singh for the Raghogarh municipality election and since then there has been speculation about Laxman rejoining the Congress.
