Senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal has been facing the heat ever since he said that Gandhis should step aside and give some other leader a chance to lead the party. “Leadership is in cuckoo land I want a ‘Sab ki Congress’. Some want a ‘Ghar ki Congress’,” Sibal told the Indian Express in an interview.
His comments drew sharp reactions from Congress leaders of Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha . Reacting Sibal’s comments , Congress Leader in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge was quoted by ANI as saying , Kapil Sibal may be a good lawyer but he is not a good leader of the Congress party. He never went to any village to work for Congress. He is deliberately trying to weaken the party. No one can weaken Sonia Gandhi or the Congress party.
Backing Kharge in his attack On Sibal, Congress Leader in Lok Sabha , Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury was quoted by ANI as saying, “Kapil Sibal kahan k neta hain mujhe pata nahi. He got many advancements because of the Congress party. Things were good when he was a minister in the UPA govt now when UPA is not in power he is feeling bad.”
Chowdhury also took at dig at the G- 23 leaders, as he told ANI, They (G23) don’t have a habit of staying out of governing power. That is why they’re trying to save themselves while criticising. I don’t know what’s his (Congress leader Kapil Sibal) mass base.
Congress party is facing flak after it’s rout in all five poll bound states of – Uttar Pradesh, Uttrakhand, Punjab, Goa, Manipur. Adding to the humiliation was it’s inability to retain power in Punjab due to in- fighting. The result saw the AAP sweep to power with stupendous majority.
Congress party spokesperson Pawan Khera too in his tweet took on Sibal
.@drharshvardhan did not ask you to step aside from Chandni Chowk. He fought an election and defeated you @KapilSibal. Those who want to lead @INCIndia are free to fight upcoming election for the position of party president instead of chanting everyday against current leadership
