India Today
Congress MP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury launched another attack at his party's leader Kapil Sibal for his 'ghar ki Congress' comment. Kapil Sibal also said Rahul Gandhi is already the “de facto president” who takes all the decisions.
Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury launched a fresh salvo at his party colleague Kapil Sibal for the latter's "Sab ki Congress...ghar ki Congress" remark. Chowdhury said Sibal found everything to be good when he was in Congress but feels things are bad in the Congress now that the United Progressive Alliance government is no longer at the Centre.

He said, "Kapil Sibal kahan ke neta hain mujhe pata nahi [I don't know from where Kapil Sibal is coming. He got many benefits from the Congress. Things were good when he was a minister in the UPA government. Now that the UPA is no longer in power, he is feeling bad [about things in Congress]."
Sibal, in a recent interview with The Indian Express, had said: “It is purely my personal view that today at least I want a ‘sab ki Congress’. Some others want a ‘Ghar ki Congress’. I certainly don’t want a ‘Ghar ki Congress’. And I will fight for a ‘sab ki Congress’ till my last breath.”

Explaining the remark, Kapil Sibal went on to say: “This ‘sab ki Congress’ means just not getting together, but getting together all those people in India who don’t want the BJP. You take in the viewpoints of everybody, you expand your footprint in such a way that all those forces for change, who are against this autocratic capture of all institutions in this country, come together.”
He said that it was time for the Gandhis to step aside from leadership positions and give others a chance. “The Gandhis should voluntarily move away because a body nominated by them will never tell them that they should not continue to hold the reins of power,” he said. Kapil Sibal also said Rahul Gandhi is already the “de facto president” who takes all the decisions.
