Congress,
meanwhile, steered clear of questions whether Digvijay's announcement has
caused an embarassment to the party while his son and Madhya Pradesh MLA
Jaiwardhan Singh said his father's move to remarry was a "personal
matter" and extended full support to him."As far as I am concerned, I
don't hide my relationship which Mr Modi does. I am absolutely clear in this. I
am not a coward which Mr Narendra Modi unfortunately is," the 67-year-old
AICC General Secretary told reporters.In the ongoing Lok Sabha campaign, Digvijay was among
the Congress leaders who slammed Modi, who, last month, for the first time
publicly acknowledged that he is married.In his poll affidavit while filing his
nomination last month for the Vadodara seat, Modi for the first time made it
known that Jashodaben was his wife.Modi
entered his wife's name in a column asking about his marital status. He had
left the column blank on previous occasions, including in the last Gujarat
Assembly elections in 2012.
At
the AICC briefing, Finance Minister P Chidambaram steered clear of questions
whether Digvijay's announcement has caused an embarassment to the Congress."I
do not comment on private life of persons whether belonging to other parties or
Congress. It should be best left to the person concerned," he told
reporters in Delhi.Jaiwardhan Singh, a Congress MLA, said his father's decision
was a personal matter.
