Can No Longer Accept 'Wrong Policies': Ex-Rajasthan Minister Vishvendra Singh Quits Congress
Singh accused PCC chief Govind Singh Dotasra of misconduct and said he was leaving with self-respect after a public feud over party discipline.
- On Friday, October 2, 2026, former Rajasthan Minister Vishvendra Singh resigned from the Congress party following a fierce public feud with Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Committee Chief Govind Singh Dotasra over recent urban local body elections.
- Singh alleged that Congress leaders in Bharatpur and Deeg sidelined "actual party workers" while favoring allies during recent civic polls, with Congress winning 3,613 wards compared to the BJP's 4,179.
- In his resignation letter, Singh targeted Dotasra over recruitment exam irregularities and stated, "Better to die with self-respect than suffocation." He demanded an inquiry into alleged misuse of the Education Minister position to benefit relatives.
- On Thursday, Dotasra dismissed Singh's allegations as "propaganda" and characterized reports of internal discord as part of the BJP's "toolkit," denying any rift within the state Congress leadership.
- The resignation fuels speculation about Singh's political future, as he was a key architect of the 2020 rebellion led by former Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot against the Ashok Gehlot government six years ago.
