Senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal on Wednesday raised uncomfortable questions a day after the party’s fiasco in Punjab, saying it’s ironic that those close to the party leadership are leaving.
Sibal, who is part of the G23, or group of senior leaders who have called for organisational reforms, also called out to leaders who have left the Congress in the past to return and strengthen the party.
“Every Congressman of the country should think as to how the party can be strengthened. Those who have left should come back because Congress alone can save this republic,” Sibal said at a news conference in Delhi.
Sibal also took a dig at the Gandhis, without mentioning them by name, saying that it was ultimately the G-23 which was left standing with the party leadership.
“We (leaders of G-23) are not the ones who will leave the party and go anywhere else. It is ironic. Those who were close to them (party leadership) have left and those whom they don’t consider to be close to them are still standing with them,” he said.
The former union minister also indicated he and the other members of the G-23 will continue to press for changes in the party organisation.
“We are the G-23, not the Jee Huzoor 23. It is very clear. We will keep talking. We will continue to reiterate our demands,” he said.
