After Sunil Jakhar, Hardik Patel, Now It's Kapil Sibal.
It was yet another nail, this time a veteran one, in the coffin of the Grand Old Party on Wednesday as Congress leader Kapil Sibal — flanked by Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav — filed his nomination for the upcoming Rajya Sabha election with the support of the SP and announced that he had severed ties with the Congress.
While not many were surprised by the announcement, given that Sibal was part of the dissenters group in the Congress — G-23 — and had made his discomfort with the leadership clear, the senior leader’s exit comes at a time when the party is struggling to keep its flock together amid infighting, a missing-in-action top brass and the BJP behemoth.
Sibal’s departure also brings back focus on several big names who have left the Congress recently, with the party witnessing five big exits in the past five months.
