Fresh signs of factional discord have emerged within the Rajasthan Congress after senior leader and former minister Vishvendra Singh launched another sharp attack on the party’s leadership, questioning its organisational functioning, political direction and treatment of party workers.
In a strongly worded social media post, Singh declared, “Sycophancy is not in my blood, nor will I ever engage in it,” renewing the spotlight on his strained relationship with the state leadership and fuelling speculation about his political future.
The latest remarks follow a show-cause notice issued to Singh by the Congress disciplinary committee over statements allegedly contrary to the party line and critical of Rajasthan Congress president Govind Singh Dotasra. Singh was reportedly asked to respond within seven days, although no official response to the notice had been reported by the time of the latest post.
Expressing dismay over the party’s condition, Singh said an organisation that had governed the country for six decades had reached a point where Rajasthan Congress appeared to be functioning without effective leadership.
He described the party’s situation as “Ram-bharose” (left to the mercy of God) and accused its own leaders of weakening the organisation. He also claimed that self-respecting individuals were increasingly feeling suffocated within the party.
Taking aim at the state leadership, Singh called on senior functionaries to abandon what he characterised as arrogance and political delusion, warning that the party risked losing even its remaining political strength if the situation continued.
He also highlighted concerns over the treatment of senior leaders, the lack of guidance for younger party workers and the absence of a clear vision for women’s empowerment. Singh said these issues required serious consideration by the Congress high command.
Reaffirming his commitment to public service, Singh said he had sought to conduct his political career as an MLA, MP and minister with honesty, loyalty and dedication. He invoked his devotion to Giriraj Maharaj, maintaining that truth, righteousness and public welfare had remained central to his approach.
Singh said he had never compromised his self-respect, indulged in deceit or abandoned loyal associates, even when standing by them came at a personal or political cost. He also emphasised that he remained committed to party workers and the principles of clean politics.
Describing himself as a disciplined party worker, Singh said his public life had always been an open book and that his home and heart would remain open to workers at all times.
He added that he had no expectations at this stage of his life beyond the affection of the people he had served throughout his political career. Whatever he had received, he said, was a blessing from Giriraj Maharaj.
On his political future, Singh said he would leave the decision to the people, whom he described as the ultimate authority, and accept their verdict wholeheartedly.
He concluded his message with salutations to Bhole Baba and Giriraj Maharaj, the slogan “Jai Hind” and greetings to the people of the Bharatpur division.
