Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal on Tuesday emphasised the importance of the INDIA bloc parties coming together to discuss their strategy for upcoming elections, in order to resolve any confusion. Sibal, who was addressing a press conference, reiterated that the Congress Party has always sought consensus and aims to bring everyone on board. However, he also pointed out the need for clarity on how the alliance will function moving forward.

Sibal raised concerns over the tactics employed by certain members of the INDIA bloc, particularly the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which, according to him, had fielded candidates against the Congress in states such as Haryana, Goa, and Gujarat. He suggested that questions should have been raised when AAP`s Arvind Kejriwal made such decisions. "The Congress always tries to get everyone on board with a consensus for moving forward. Sometimes problems arise, as was evident in Bihar, where the Congress did not perform to expectations. The RJD blamed Congress for not being able to form the government," Sibal said.
