Worried for Congress, says Kapil Sibal

Amid reports of a crisis in the Rajasthan Congress government, senior party leader Kapil Sibal on Sunday expressed concerns over the direction in which the party is heading.

"Worried for our party... Will we wake up only after the horses have bolted from our stables?", Sibal's tweet read.

Earlier Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot had accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of attempting to topple the state government" by "buying" MLAs by offering them up to Rs 25 crore, a charge denied by the opposition party and its ally Rashtriya Loktantrik Party, which have claimed that "infighting" inside Congress was at play.

They also accused Gehlot of not trusting his own MLAs.

Reports have also surfaced regarding Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot arriving in Delhi, along with close to two dozen MLAs loyal to him as the crisis in the Congress government in the state.

However, the BJP has denied any involvement in the ongoing feud with the Rajasthan Congress.

Rajasthan BJP president Satish Punia said, "Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot is a cunning politician, he is trying to blame BJP for his failure in governance. The allegations are completely baseless. He has the numbers then who will try to destabilise the government?"
