Kapil Sibal on his way out after ordinance fiasco?

September 28, 2013 14:15

From a correspondent in Delhi: 'Baba-log', as junior Union ministers close to Rahul Gandhi are affectionately known, have spoken out openly against Law Minister Kapil Sibal.

One of them even went to the extent of claiming that Finance Minister P Chidambaram had explained to BJP leaders the dangers of opting for the ordinance route to save convicted lawmakers.

One junior minister overheard senior BJP leaders Arun Jaitley and Sushma Swaraj discussing the perils of bringing in the ordinance with Chidambaram and Sibal while they were leaving the Red Fort, right after the PM's address on Independence Day.
