Internal rumblings in Congress: Who said what

As the Bharatiya Janata Party sweeps poll after poll, the country's top opposition party is witnessing a crumbling of its pillars. In an interview on Monday, Kapil Sibal slammed the grand old party for not taking enough initiatives to address its flaws, which was met with other Congress leaders condemining his public remarks. Here's a look at who said what: 

"I have not heard the leadership tell me anything… I only hear voices which surround the leadership… We are yet to hear from the Congress party their views on our recent performance in Bihar and the by-elections. Maybe they think all is well and that it should be business as usual. We cannot anymore expect people to come to us. We are not the kind of force we used to be." - Kapil Sibal

“I feel the Congress contested more seats than its organisational strength (in Bihar). The Congress was given 25 seats where the BJP or its allies had been winning for 20 years. The Congress should have refused to contest from these seats. The party should have fielded only 45 candidates.” - Chidambaram

Sibal should meet high command to give suggestion. Statement to media is loss to Congress.

There was no need for Mr Kapil Sibal to mention our internal issue in media, this has hurt the sentiments of party workers across the country. Even today, Congress is the only party which can keep this nation united and take it forward on the path of comprehensive development,
