NEW DELHI: Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh 's "Don't ditch" Twitter message to his former colleague Shankersinh Vaghela with regard to the Gujarat Rajya Sabha election may not have worked.Vaghela, who quit the Congress last month, said after voting commenced on Tuesday that he didn't vote for the Congress party candidate Ahmed Patel.Vaghela had been silent on whom he and his loyalists plan to support in the fierce contest between the Congress's Patel and Balwantsinh Rajput , who also quit the Congress to join the BJP last month.Digvijaya wanted "his brother" Vaghela to vote for Patel, of course. He urged Vaghela to not support his old "chela", or follower. The reference was to Prime Minister and former Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi Digvijaya also appealed to Vaghela's 'Rajputness', a reference to the community's famed loyalty.The Congress leader then mentioned his personal friendship with Vaghela, reminding him of a time when he hosted him in Khajuraho.
