BHOPAL: Former Madhya Pradesh chief minister and AICC general secretary Digvijaya Singh's brother Laxman officially returned to the Congress party on Monday. The Madhya Pradesh Congress confirmed that his return to the party was cleared by the high-command after which elder brother Digvijaya proposed his membership which was accepted AICC general secretary in-charge of Madhya Pradesh BKHariprasad at 24 Akbar Road.
Digvijaya Singh supporters in the state Congress were jubilant after the return of Laxman Singh. PCC media cell chairman Manak Agarwal explained: Laxman Singh's return is a victory for the Congress. After Laxman Singh split from the Congress, he was the only leader the BJP had in Rajgarh district. Now they have none. Now, Rajgarh belongs to us.''
Soon after his official acceptance into the Congress, Laxman Singh said: I will work for the Congress with full dedication and with all my strength. There was a lot of pressure from Congress workers in my home district to join back the party and I decided it was time to return.'' Asked why he left the Congress in 2004 after Congress debacle in Madhya Pradesh, Laxman Singh said: There were some personal reasons for that decision. But I always respected the Gandhi family.''
Laxman Singh had left the Congress amidst high family drama. He walked into newly elected BJP chief minister Uma Bharati's office and claimed he wanted to join the BJP. Brother Digvijaya was heart-broken and sent several family members including his wife Asha to stop Laxman from joining the rival party. But Laxman not only joined the BJP but even won the Lok Sabha seat from Rajgarh constituency.
Speaking on what led to his expulsion from the BJP three years ago, Laxman Singh explained,"I was annoyed with the way BJP president Nitin Gadkari made a personal attack while addressing a public meeting. The president of a national political party should not give statements like the one he made.''
In July 2010, Laxman Singh was expelled from the primary membership of the BJP after he publicly condemned Nitin Gadkari for his public speech on the Congress party and Afzal Guru. Addressing a public function, Gadkari had asked if Afzal Guru was the Congress's son-in-law and was probably being spared from the gallows for the same reason. Laxman was quick to seek an apology from the BJP chief and was fired.
Laxman Singh launched his political career from the Raghogarh municipality in 1987. He was elected twice as MLA from Raghogarh assembly seat and five times MP from Rajgarh constituency, four times for the Congress party and once for the BJP.
