Congress leader Digvijay Singh on Thursday said that he does not hide his relationship like Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi who had been hiding the truth about his marriage and added that the latter is a coward.

"I don't hide my relationship, which Mr. Modi does. I am not a coward. My relationship is a private matter that I have made public," said Singh.

"Modi is a coward as he has hidden his wife for years, but I have the courage and conviction to face the consequences for what I have said and done," he added.

Yesterday, the Congress leader had tweeted that he had no hesitation in accepting his relationship with T.V journalist Amrita Rai.
