Digvijaya Singh, a senior leader in the Congress party, has decided not to run for another term in the Rajya Sabha.
He wants to make room for younger leaders.
Pradeep Ahirwar, a leader from the Scheduled Caste wing, asked Singh to ensure that a person from the SC community gets a chance to represent Madhya Pradesh in the Rajya Sabha.
Singh said he is stepping aside to help strengthen the party's organization.
He might also lead a big walk around the Narmada River to inspire younger workers.
The Congress party is trying to rebuild itself by promoting younger leaders and strengthening its grassroots organization.
