"How's The Prasad, Mr Sibal?": BJP Leader Jitin Prasada's Payback
NDTV
Jitin Prasada was the second high-profile Rahul Gandhi aide to move to the BJP after Jyotiraditya Scindia left in 2020
Uttar Pradesh Minister Jitin Prasada, who quit the Congress and joined the BJP in June last year just before the assembly election, today found an opportunity to troll Kapil Sibal, nearly a year after Mr Sibal - who himself left the Congress today - tweeted a swipe at his former Congress colleague for joining the rival party. How's the "Prasad" Mr. Sibal ! ????#Rajyasabha@KapilSibalhttps://t.co/lb9cCJgWSB
Mr Prasada, 48, was the Congress's top Brahmin face in UP and once close to Rahul Gandhi.
The day Mr Prasada bade farewell to the Congress, Mr Sibal had tweeted a swipe at him, with a wordplay on his name.
"Jitin Prasada joins BJP. The question is will he get 'prasada' from BJP or is he just a 'catch' for UP elections? In such deals if 'ideology' doesn't matter changeover is easy," Mr Sibal, 73, had tweeted.
