Digvijay says a united Cong will "win" Gwalior

Gwalior, Feb 22 (UNI) AICC General Secretary Digvijay Singh today dismissed reports of differences with Congress MP Jyotiraditya Scindia and said the March 8 Gwalior parliamentary constituency bypoll would be ''contested and won unitedly by the party''.

''The media has created these so-called differences of opinion while we are toiling unitedly under the leadership of Congress President Sonia Gandhi. Just like party members unitedly defeated (senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader) Atal Bihari Vajpayee when he contested against Mr Madhavrao Scindia, we will emerge victorious,'' he told journalists here. Former BJP leader Rajeev Kaurav entered the Congress fold today.

Mr Singh expressed confidence that Guna MP Jyotiraditya Scindia and all other senior Congress leaders of the state would make every attempt to ensure the party's victory.

''This fight is not about ego and family but about principles.

Anyway, the Scindia family's patriarch is part of the Congress,'' he said in response to a question about the BJP fielding state Tourism and Sports Minister Yashodhara Raje Scindia for the same seat.
