After dharna at Diggy’s home, Cong MLA meets Shivraj

Soon after staging dharna at the residence of his brother Digvijay Singh here on Tuesday, Congress MLA Laxman Singh created flutter in political circles by paying a surprise visit to senior BJP leader Shivraj Singh Chouhan here on Wednesday.

The meeting surprised almost the political observers, as Laxman Singh had in the past joined the BJP. In the recent past too, Singh had been raising voice against his party’s government in Madhya Pradesh.

Singh had staged a daylong dharna at his elder brother Digvijay Singh’s residence on Tuesday demanding that his brother should specify a date when the assembly constituency Chachoda, he represents in assembly, would be declared a district. The dharna had come to an end on Tuesday evening, after Digvijay Singh expressed annoyance over the move by his brother.
