The BJP has demanded appropriate action against the Congress leader.
"Digvijay Singh who is candidate for Rajya Sabha election for Madhya Pradesh, has gone to Bengaluru along with nine cabinet ministers and others to influence and pressurise the 16 MLAs from Madhya Pradesh legislative assembly to vote in his favour in the Rajya Sabha election, which is due on 26 March 2020," read the letter by the polling agent of BJP candidate Sumer SIngh Solanki and BJP legal cell member, Shantilal Lodha.
