Ashok Gehlot hits out at Kapil Sibal

November 16, 2020 20:08

Congress leader Kapil Sibal's public takedown of the party leadership after its Bihar defeat has received a sharp rebuttal from Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, who said in a series of tweets today that there was "no need" for Mr Sibal to mention internal issues in the media.

"There was no need for Kapil Sibal to mention our internal issue in media, this has hurt the sentiments of party workers across the country," Mr Gehlot said in his tweets.

He also said the party had improved with each and every crisis under Sonia Gandhi and would this time too. "Everytime we came out stronger due to our ideology, programs, policies and firm belief in party leadership. We have improved with each and every crisis and also formed UPA government in 2004 under the able leadership of Soniaji, we shall overcome this time too," the Congress veteran wrote.

Sibal, in a no-holds-barred interview to the Indian Express, said that the party must recognise it was in decline and "experienced minds, experienced hands and those who understand political realities" were needed to revive the organisation.
