According to the information, the special thing is that this meeting was allegedly done without any formal announcement.
This development has come to light at a time when Union Home Minister Amit Shah raised many serious and big questions on Congress in the Parliament, which also includes issues related to Sonia Gandhi’s citizenship and becoming a voter. After these statements of Amit Shah, Congress’s uneasiness was clearly visible and the opposition walked out of the House.
The wounds of 2021 are green again
If we look at it… the rift in relations between Kapil Sibal and Congress leadership is nothing new. In the year 2021, Kapil Sibal was also among the leaders who raised questions on the party leadership from the middle of the G-23 group. At that time he had publicly asked Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi to leave the leadership of Congress. After this, Congress workers demonstrated at his house, vandalized it and seriously damaged his cars. This was the turning point when the relations between Kapil Sibal and the Gandhi family became very sour.
After this, Kapil Sibal distanced himself from Congress and entered Rajya Sabha with the support of Samajwadi Party. In such a situation, his sudden meeting with Sonia Gandhi has raised many big questions – is this a political compulsion or a sign of some big legal and political crisis?
Political turmoil over Sonia Gandhi’s citizenship
The issue raised by Amit Shah in Parliament seems to be the biggest problem for Congress. It is alleged that serious questions arise in some cases related to citizenship, the matter regarding which is also said to be under consideration in the court. Congress has vehemently denied these allegations, but the party’s nervousness is clearly visible in its aggressive stance and repeatedly.
Due to this, political analysts believe that due to this legal complication, Congress may need strong legal advice. In such a situation, the role of a senior lawyer like Kapil Sibal can be important.
Leadership war going on inside Congress
The problems of Congress are not limited to external attacks only, but dissatisfaction regarding the leadership within the party has also started coming to the fore. If we pay attention… questions have been raised regarding Rahul Gandhi’s working style, decision process and appointments. Rahul Gandhi registering his protest and giving dissent notes in many big meetings further highlights the differences within the party.
Amidst the discussions about bringing Priyanka Gandhi forward, it is also said that efforts are being made within the party to limit her. Many leaders considered close to Priyanka Gandhi were either shown the way out of the party or were marginalized.
Separate paths of Shashi Tharoor and Manish Tiwari
Let us tell you, Shashi Tharoor had contested against Mallikarjun Kharge in the election for the post of Congress President, but Kharge won due to the full support of the Gandhi family. After this, Shashi Tharoor praising PM Narendra Modi on some issues and the government giving him the opportunity to represent at international forums became an uncomfortable situation for the Congress.
At the same time, Manish Tiwari demanded abolition of the party whip, which indicated that many leaders within the Congress have different views from the party line, but are not able to come forward openly.
Is a big break heading towards Congress?
There is now a strong discussion in the political circles that either there can be a major organizational change in the Congress or the party is moving towards a major legal and political crisis. Now… Kapil Sibal’s meeting with Sonia Gandhi is being linked to this possible crisis.
If Congress does not resolve internal differences in time and does not give a concrete response to the legal challenges, the party’s troubles may increase further in the coming days. If we understand at the moment… it is certain that this period is very decisive for Congress. In the coming days, it will become clear whether this meeting was just a formal dialogue or a prelude to some major political event.
