Kapil Sibal’s dinner diplomacy sees senior leaders across party lines
Opposition leaders across party lines on Monday, at a private dinner hosted by senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal, talked of the need to jointly take on the BJP and the Narendra Modi government. And a start should be made in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, where a victory could give the Opposition much needed momentum, the leaders argued. Several leaders, a source told The Hindu, stressed on the Congress party resolving its “internal problems” and emerging as a party that could win over 100-150 seats across the country.More Related News
