Rahul Gandhi alleges Congress dissenters ‘colluded’ with BJP; Sibal, Azad react

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi at the Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting on Monday hit out at those who raised the demand for a change in leadership alleging their letters were written in collusion with the BJP.

Rahul, sources added, also questioned the timing of the letter by his party colleagues saying that it came when Sonia Gandhi was admitted to a hospital.

This provoked angry retorts from the pro-changers – Kapil Sibal and Ghulam Nabi Azad in particular – with Azad in his speech saying he would quit if anybody can prove any collusion with the BJP.

Sibal took to Twitter to react to Rahul’s allegation , pointing out that over the last 30 years he never made any statement favouring the BJP.

“Rahul Gandhi says ‘ we are colluding with BJP ‘. Succeeded in Rajasthan High Court defending the Congress Party. Defending party in Manipur to bring down BJP Govt. Last 30 years have never made a statement in favour of BJP on any issue. Yet ‘ we are colluding with the BJP ‘, Sibal posted to Twitter.
