Former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Digvijaya Singh took a potshot at Assam CM Hemant Biswa Sarma on calling Congress Leader Rahul Gandhi a star campaigner of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Singh said, “These allegations which are being levelled against him (Rahul Gandhi), have been levelled against me as well and it has been levelled on everyone.
