A post is being circulated on social media claiming that veteran Congress leader & former Madhya Pradesh CM Digvijay Singh’s daughter Shreyasi Singh joined Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Shreyasi Singh’s photo while she was joining BJP is shared in the post. Let’s verify the claim made in the post.
Claim: Congress leader Digvijay Singh’s daughter joined BJP.
Fact: Photo in the post shows Former Union Minister Digvijay Singh’s daughter Shreyasi Singh, not the Congress leader Digvijaya Singh’s daughter. Late Digvijay Singh was the member of Union cabinet under the Governments of Chandrashekhar and Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Shooter Shreyasi Singh has no relation with the Congress leader Digvijaya Singh. Hence, the claim made in the post is FALSE.
On searching for the relevant information regarding these allegations made in the post, several articles that published about shooter Sheyasi Singh joining Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) were found on the internet. They can be seen here and here. In these articles, they mentioned shooter Sheyasi Singh as the daughter of Former Union Minister late Digvijay Singh. Digvijay Singh was a politician from Bihar and the former leader of Janata Dal JD(U). He was a member of the Union cabinet under the Governments of Chandrashekhar and Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
Veteran Congress leader, former Madhya Pradesh CM and current Rajya Sabha Member Digvijaya Singh has no daughter with the name Shreyasi Singh. He has no relation with the shooter. Digvijaya Singh on his Facebook post clarified that Shreyasi Singh is not his daughter and all these claims of his daughter joining the BJP are fake. His tweet on the same can also be found here.
