Digvijay had then written, “Can women of this country trust a man who stalks a woman.”
But after constant attack on Modi`s personal life, Digvijay was himself stunned by a picture collage suggesting an extra marital relationship between him and an an anchor which went viral on the Internet.
Despite being enchroaching on Modi`s life for quite some time, after the viral pictures started doing rounds on social networking websites, Digvijay Singh reacted calling it an encroachment on personal life.
Soon after that pictures hit the web, the senior Congress leader confirmed having an extra-marital affair with the journalist.
