'Who is opposed to Rahul and Priyanka?': Digvijaya confirms Congress rift and backs Vadras

Even as Congress continues to attack Narendra Modi-led Central government on a range of matters, including on Chinese aggression along Line of Actual Control (LAC), it seems discontentment is brewing in within its own party ranks. t long ago, Congress suffered a major jolt when Jyotiraditya Scindia joined BJP and party lost Madhya Pradesh, and w, voices have been raised around re-instating Rahul Gandhi as party chief.

Inner-party democracy seems to have t improved since Scindia's exit, as sources on Thursday informed that in recent CWC meeting, several leaders voiced ir differences on party's line of attack and its leadership. However, Congress' senior leader Digvijaya Singh was quick to come to ir defense and stated that 'whole Congress unitedly stands with Nehru Gandhi family.' In his tweet, he sycophantically asked as to who in grand-old party is opposed to Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi? 

Citing 'ideological clarity' to justify family line and dynasty politics, Singh said that all Congress leaders - juniors and seniors must be clear about ideology, orwise, differences may harm party, he added.
