Azad, Sibal should join BJP: Athawale

New Delhi, 2-September-2020

Union Minister Ramdas Athawale said that since veteran Congress leaders like Kapil Sibal, Ghulam Nabi Azad and others have been accused of colluding with the BJP; they should resign and join the BJP.
Athwale further said that if the senior leaders are being disrespected then they should leave the grand old party just like Jyotiraditya Scindia did and added that the saffron party is ready to welcome them in its fold.
Even Sachin Pilot did so but he reached a compromise. Rahul Gandhi is wrong in blaming people who built the Congress, he added.
�There is a controversy over the post of Congress chief. Rahul Gandhi has accused Sibal, Azad of working on BJP's behalf. Therefore, I request Sibal, Azad to resign from Congress. They have spent many years expanding the Congress, but they should exit the party and join BJP now,� Athawale told ANI.
Saying that the NDA government in the Centre will keep returning to power for many more years, the Republican Party of India (A) chief expressed the hope that it will win over 350 seats in the next general elections.
Calling the BJP a party of the masses with people of all castes, sects, and religions joining the saffron party, Athwale said that it will win keep winning in the coming elections and eradicate Congress.
Sibal and Azad were among the 23 big leaders from the grand old party who had written to interim president Sonia Gandhi and demanded sweeping changes in the party.
Defending the letter, Azad had said it was no big deal if their letter got leaked and asked if action should not be taken for �indiscipline� against leaders who targeted them.
The senior leader had also said that the Congress is at the �historic low� and will continue to sit in the opposition for the �next 50 years� if elections to the Congress Working Committee (CWC) and key organisational posts don�t take place.
