In a free-wheeling chat with The Wire's Ajoy Ashirwad, senior Congress leader and Rajya Sabha MP Digvijaya Singh talks about his party's immediate plans and motto for the upcoming 'Bharat Jodo Yatra'. He also discusses what ails the Congress at the moment and whether the Udaipur declaration can address those problems. He said many of the decisions taken by the Narendra Modi government have proven to be counter-productive, and that the BJP has only managed to divide India on religious, caste and linguistic lines.

He also says that he had warned Amit Shah that the djinn of religious frenzy, once released, "will be uncontrollable". See the full interview for more details.
