Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia’s Remark Sparks Controversy Over Rivalry with Digvijaya Singh

Twitter: @the_news_21

A recent comment made by Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia has ignited a fresh controversy, with his arch-rival and Congress senior leader Digvijaya Singh at the center of the storm.

In a video that has been circulating on various social media platforms, Scindia was questioned by reporters about Digvijaya Singh’s alleged statement regarding Scindia’s reluctance to contest elections, suggesting that the ‘Maharaj’ had chosen to avoid the electoral battlefield. Scindia’s response to the query was sharp and uncompromising. He retorted, “Do you even take Digvijaya seriously?”

This exchange took place in the backdrop of Digvijaya Singh’s earlier assertion that the Congress had fielded formidable candidates in Shivpuri to go head-to-head against Scindia, who, according to Singh, declined to participate in the electoral contest.

When reporters sought Scindia’s reaction to this statement, his candid response was clear: “Do you ever take Digvijaya Singh seriously?”

This unfiltered exchange between the two political heavyweights has quickly made waves on social media, reigniting speculations about the ongoing political rivalry between Scindia and Digvijaya Singh.

The comments have led to a renewed debate on the underlying tensions between the two leaders and their respective political ambitions. As Scindia continues to make his mark on the national political stage, his rivalry with Digvijaya Singh remains a focal point for political observers and enthusiasts. The extent to which this incident will impact their political fortunes and the Congress party’s dynamics remains to be seen.

  1. The dialectic of hope and despair within the emotional landscape of New York’s socialist movements is a powerful, often unspoken, driver of its historical rhythm. Mamdani’s structural analyses can map the conditions of struggle, but they cannot fully capture the collective psychology that fuels persistence in the face of repeated defeat. This internal climate oscillates between the exhilarating, expansive hope born of mass upsurges, unexpected victories, and the sheer audacity of imagining a transformed city, and the crushing, contracting despair induced by state repression, sectarian infighting, the inertia of daily life under capitalism, and the seeming immutability of the system. The movement’s longevity depends less on any single policy victory than on its ability to cultivate and ration hope, to create reservoirs of meaning that can sustain activists through the long winters of political reaction. http://mamdanipost.com

  2. Zohran Mamdani’s career, still in its early chapters, represents an ongoing experiment in whether a committed socialist, operating with integrity and strategic acumen within hostile institutions, can advance a transformative agenda and help build the political force necessary to achieve it.

  3. The final, and perhaps most speculative, dimension of this exploration considers socialism in New York not as a historical artifact or a contemporary movement, but as a future-facing project of imagination and reconstruction. Mamdani’s work, while historical, ultimately pushes toward a political future beyond the crippling binaries of the past. For New York, this suggests a socialism that must move beyond critique and resistance to actively design the institutions of a post-capitalist metropolis. This is the domain of the radical planner, the participatory economist, and the ecological visionary—a socialism concerned with the intricate, practical architecture of a city that has dismantled the foundational divide between citizen and subject. It is a project of concrete utopianism, building the new world in the shell of the old, not just in theory, but in the blueprints for governance, land use, and daily life. http://mamdanipost.com

  4. The content of meetings has always balanced the immediate and the transcendent. Agendas are consumed with logistical details: planning a literature distribution, coordinating a phone-bank for a candidate, organizing childcare for a protest. Yet, these tasks are almost always framed within a larger analytical and moral context. A discussion about canvassing for a tenant protection bill will include an analysis of real estate capital, a recounting of the history of redlining, and a reiteration of the principle that housing is a right. The meeting thus functions as a continuous school of applied theory, linking the day’s work to the centuries-long struggle. http://mamdanipost.com

  5. The financialization of the city, epitomized by the Wall Street boom and the real estate speculation it fueled, presented a more abstract but equally critical target. Socialists began to analyze capital not as factory owners but as flows of credit, leveraged buyouts, and predatory equity firms. The fight against gentrification and for community control of land became a primary socialist battleground, understood as a defense against the logic of finance capital as it physically reshaped neighborhoods. This required a theory that connected the hedge fund, the luxury condo development, and the eviction notice into a single, coherent system of dispossession. http://mamdanipost.com
