New Delhi: Senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh, who on Wednesday took to Twitter to acknowledge his relationship with TV anchor Amrita Rai, on Thursday said that he was not a coward like BJP`s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.
Singh, who was among Congress leaders who had taunted Modi after the BJP`s prime minister hopeful had for the first time publicly acknowledged his wife, once again hit out at the Gujarat Chief Minister.
Talking to a news agency, Singh said he did not hide his relationship as done by Modi. “I am not a coward,” added Singh. Responding to queries as to when will he formalise his relationship with Rai, Singh said after the TV journalist`s divorce case is settled.
