67-year-old Congress leader Digvijay Singh today took to Twitter to announce his relationship with a woman journalist and plans about marrying her after the social media went viral about it.
“I have no hesitation in accepting my relationship with Amrita Rai. She and her husband have already filed a mutual consent divorce case...Once that is decided we would formalise it,” the former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh tweeted.
“But I do condemn encroachment in our private life,” the Congress General Secretary added after media reports about their relationship appeared.
Singh’s wife Asha passed away last year after prolonged illness. He has four daughters and a son from his marriage.
Rai, said to be in her early 40s, also tweeted that she will marry Singh after divorce with her husband.
“I have separated from my husband and we have filed a mutual consent divorce papers. After which I have decided to marry with Digvijaya Singh,” she tweeted.
Congress General Secretary Shakeel was asked about the issue at the party’s media briefing but he said he was not aware of it.
BJP, on the other hand, raised the question of morality and legality and asked Congress leadership to take cognizance.
