Senior BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya, who was recently elected from Mhow Assembly constituency here on Thursday invited former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister and Congress general secretary to join the Bharatiya Janata Party saying that the Congress party in the recently concluded Assembly elections did not utilise his services properly. Had the Congress used his (Digvijay Singh’s) services properly, the party would not have fared so badly as in the recently elections.
Vijayvargiya was talking to the mediapersons during the oath-taking ceremony of the newly inducted Indore Development Authority’s Board of directors here on Thursday. Vijayvargiya’s remarks on Digvijay Singh with whom he enjoyed a very cordial relations during latter’s regime, when he was Indore mayor, assumes significance after recent diatribes of senior Congress leaders Satyavrat Chaturvedi and Manish Tiwari who held Digvijay responsible for a dismal show of the party in the current elections .
The BJP leader said that if the Congress party ousts Digvijay Singh from the party, they will include him in the BJP and utilize his services and political acumen properly which the Congress party failed to do so.
Talking about the Madhya Pradesh Poll Campaign chief of the Congress party, Jyotiraditya Scindia, Vijayvargiya said if a person is given more responsibilities that his capacity, such a poll outcome for the Congress was bound to happen. Rs Yadi aap ek lote mein balti bhar pani daloge to lota ludhkega’ (If you pour a bucket of water in a very small container, it will bound to be tumble, he added.
Meanwhile, BJP leader and Indore city BJP president Shankar lalwani here on Thursday assumed his charge of Indore Development Authority chairman. Besides, lalwani, other newly appointed board of directors of the IDA also took oath of their office in the presence of large number of party leaders and other dignitaries. Ever since state government appointed lalwani as new chairman of the IDA last month, he had not been able to join his office due to enforcement of the election code of conduct. It was only after end of the election code of conduct on December 8 that lalwani and other board of directors of the IDA assumed their charges on Thursday.
