INDIA bloc needs to 'sit and work things out': Kapil Sibal

New Indian Express  

NEW DELHI: After subsequent disappointments faced by major INDIA bloc parties in the recent assembly elections, senior advocate and Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal on Tuesday said that the alliance will have to sit together and work meticulously to make things out. Speaking about the Congress, Sibal stated that the party always tries to work together and to move ahead with consent. He, however, also admitted that sometimes the alliance faces problems citing the example of the 2020 Bihar assembly elections, where a dismal show by Congress prevented the 'Mahagathbandhan' from reaching majority. As the BJP has clinched victory in recent Delhi, Maharashtra, Haryana assembly elections, Sibal pointed out that the BJP has advantage that they fight elections under a single command.
