Digvijaya Singh clarifies remark on Rahul Gandhi

Panaji, June 28 (IBNS) Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on Saturday clarified his remarks on Rahul Gandhi and said the party vice-president was fighting injustice and not chasing for power.

" I said he is always fighting injustice and therefore he is not for power. He is to fight injustice. That is the different between us and him,"  Singh told media.

Triggering a controversy,  Singh earlier said the Gandhi scion is by temperament not a person who wants to rule but fight injustice.

He reiterated that he wanted Rahul Gandhi himself to be the Prime Minister during the UPA regime.

In an interview to a Goa cable news channel after the drubbing of Congress in polls and the emergence of Narendra Modi, Singh said: "He is by temperament not person to rule. He is by temperament a person who wants to fight injustice."

Singh also said that Rahul Gandhi should have taken up the role of the main opposition leader in the Lok Sabha instead of Mallikarjun Kharge.
