Kapil Sibal left congress and submitted a nomination for the Rajya Sabha election on Wednesday in front of Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav.
Kapil Sibal left congress on Wednesday and filled a nomination for the Rajya Sabha election as an independent candidate in support of the Samajwadi Party.
After submitting the nomination in front of SP leader Akhilesh Yadav. Sibal said he would be an independent voice in Parliament. “I submitted my dissertation as an independent candidate. It is important to have an independent voice in Parliament. If you hear an independent voice, people will believe that it is not affiliated with any political party. “
A member of the G23 group of dissidents in Congress and one of the party’s most senior leaders, Sibal also removed mentions of the Ancient Party from his Twitter profile.
Sibal is one of three candidates that the Samajwadi Party will send to the Senate. Reports suggest that discussions are underway over the names of RLD leader Jayant Chaudhary and former MP Kannauj and Akhilesh Yadav’s wife, Dimple Yadav.
The excitement over Shibal’s name as the Samajwadi Party’s Rajya Sabha election has gained momentum since senior lawyers took over the case of SP influential Azam Khan, who was released from prison earlier this week. Khan said on Tuesday that he would be happiest when he raised
Sibal, “when the party (SP) considers to nominate him (Sibal) as a candidate for Rajya sabha.He is competent and deserves it. “
Sibal also helped Akhilesh maintain the party’s bicycle symbol in 2017, when the first family was involved in a fierce family conflict. This is probably the worst in SP history.
The election of 57 Rajyasabha seats in 15 states will take place on June 10. Uttar Pradesh will send a total of 31 members to the Upper House, 11 of whom will retire on July 4.
These include 5 from the BJP, 3 from the Samajwadi Party, 2 from the BSP, and 1 from Congress. Currently, the strength of the BJP is 22, and SP Rajyasabha has 5 members. The BSP and Congress have three and one members, respectively.
Sibal’s withdrawal from congress is exacerbating the party’s distress as it faces an existential crisis in the face of endless election blunders across the state. Other leaders who have left congress in recent years include Jitin Prasada, Prema Khandu, Himanta Biswa Sarma, Hardik Patel Jyotiraditya Scindia, Aditi Singh and Kirti Azad.
