The younger brother of Congress veteran Digvijaya Singh courted controversy after he termed Rahul Gandhi as nothing but just an 'ordinary' party worker. Lakshman Singh was speaking to reporters at the Congress office in MP's Guna city when he said that he doesn't consider Rahul Gandhi a big leader.
When reporters claimed Congress MP Rahul Gandhi's face is shown less on TV when he makes a statement in the Lok Sabha, Lakshman Singh said, "Rahul Gandhi is an MP, he is not the (party) president and is a Congress worker. Apart from this Rahul Gandhi is nothing. "You (media) people should not highlight Rahul Gandhi so much and neither should we," he said."
Rahul Gandhi is only an MP and he is equal to the rest of the party's parliamentarians, said Lakshman Singh, who has been a five-time MP and three-term MLA. "One does not become (big) by birth but by one's actions. Don't consider Rahul Gandhi such a big leader, I don't. He is an ordinary MP. It doesn't matter whether you highlight him or not," Lakshman Singh said.
