Will Digvijaya Singh Run For Congress Chief? What He Told NDTV

A second key Congress leader from Madhya Pradesh will visit Delhi in the run-up to the party's internal elections for the top post. Digvijaya Singh, former Chief Minister of the state, however, kept everyone in suspense on whether he would run for the post.

"I have not discussed (the matter) with anybody. I have not sought permission from the high command. Let's see. Leave it to me whether I will contest or not," he told the reporters.

The election -- expected to be a smooth transfer of power -- has been thrown into chaos after rebellion by the Ashok Gehlot loyalists in Rajasthan.
