New Delhi : In his interview with Indian Express, Senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal comes down heavily Rahul Gandhi and Gandhi family. “In what capacity did Rahul announce Chief Ministerial candidate for Punjab?, criticised Sibal .
Excerpt from the Interview :
“ Though not President, Rahul Gandhi makes all decisions by himself. He already functions like a president. So why he is asking to be re-instated to the post. Congress leadership lives in a fantasy world. Some are trying to contain the party into a family.
Election results in the five states came as no surprise. Congress has been nose-diving for five years now.
It should be “everybody’s Congress (sab ka Congress)”, however some want it to be “Congress from the house of” kind of thing. I don’t go along with “Congress from the house of” concept.
States have been falling out one by one. Even in the ones gained, it is getting hard to keep MLAs together. And , amid this, prominent leaders including aides close to the leadership, are exiting the party,” said Sibal.
