Kapil Sibal had said the Gandhis should step aside and give some other leader a chance to lead the Congress following the drubbing in state elections last week.
Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Tuesday joined the league of Congress leaders lashing out at their colleague Kapil Sibal for his remarks against the leadership, saying that the senior lawyer was not a man of "Congress culture".
"Kapil Sibal isn't a person from Congress culture. He's a renowned advocate who entered Congress. Sonia ji and Rahul ji has given him a lot of chances. It's expected from a person who doesn't know ABC of Congress to give such statements," Mr Gehlot told news agency ANI.
Earlier, speaking to reporters in Jaipur, he termed Mr Sibal's comments "unfortunate" and said, "At a time when the party is losing elections, leaders should stand united."
He said the Congress is the only party that can fight against the BJP and praised Rahul Gandhi for taking on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
