“I am of the view that Digvijay Singh is a mild and sober politician… but lately Singh has started giving statements which are quite explosive in nature,” Kumar told reporters on board a cruise liner while exchanging greetings with devotees on the occasion of Chhath last evening.

“Digvijay Singh’s recent statements and why he is making such statements have become a subject of research for me,” he said.
