Internal rumblings in Congress: Who said what
UPDATED : Nov 19 2020, 16:00 IST
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:
![\](https://www.deccanherald.com/sites/dh/files/styles/gallery_thumbnails/public/gallery_images/2020/11/19/Sibal.png "\")
1 /6 
"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

2 /6 "We are all perplexed and pained by the continuing misfortunes of our party that some have chosen to describe as our misadventures. The favourite panacea of doubting Thomases, introspection and collective leadership, might do no collateral damage but is a bit over estimated. If the mood of the electorate is resistant to the liberal values we have espoused and cherished we should be prepared for a long struggle rather than look for short cuts to get back into power." - Salman Khurshid

3 /6 "If some leaders think that Congress is not the right party for them then they may set up a new party or can join any other party which they think is progressive and according to their interest. But they should not indulge in such embarrassing activities since it can erode the credibility of the Congress. Sibal should stop giving sermons sitting in AC offices. He should have proven his mettle in the campaign for the Bihar assembly elections or the bypolls in Madhya Pradesh" - Adhir Ranjan Choudhury
X-
4 /6 “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
X-
![Sibal should meet high command to give suggestion. Statement to media is loss to Congress.\](https://www.deccanherald.com/sites/dh/files/styles/gallery_thumbnails/public/gallery_images/2020/11/19/PTI9_28_2018_000112B.jpg "Sibal should meet high command to give suggestion. Statement to media is loss to Congress.\")
5 /6 Sibal should meet high command to give suggestion. Statement to media is loss to Congress." - Tariq Anwar
X-
![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,\](https://www.deccanherald.com/sites/dh/files/styles/gallery_thumbnails/public/gallery_images/2020/11/19/PTI30-07-2020_000166B.jpg "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.

6 /6 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," - Ashok Gehlot
