Instead back the candidature of Mallikarjun Kharge, he said.

Singh said Kharge ji is my leader and my senior, I had asked him yesterday if he wanted to contest, he was not interested to contest the election but again on Friday I met him.
Further Singh said ‘I told him I will be his proposer if he files nomination papers.
He reiterated that there are some non-negotiables in my life. I don’t compromise on issues related to Dalits, tribals and OBCs, I don’t compromise with those who spoil communal harmony and I don’t compromise my commitment to the Gandhi family.
