'Time to go': Kapil Sibal jabs Rajnath on 'regime change' charge

Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal has responded to Union Minister Rajnath Singh's allegation of a "regime change" agenda by the Congress party. In a post on X, Sibal stated, "Rajnath Singh: You allege that Congress wants ‘regime change’ the Bangladesh route. No. People want ‘regime change’."

The incident occurred a day after Singh had criticized the Congress and its allies over protests in the national capital against alleged electoral irregularities. Singh accused them of seeking a regime change akin to Bangladesh and using the energy of youth to spread "anarchy."

In his reply, Sibal pointed out that the protests with the slogan "India against corruption" had brought the government power, and instead, the Congress embraced corruption, manipulated voter lists, and captured institutions. He accused the Congress of using the youth's energy for political confrontation and anarchy rather than nation-building.

On Friday, Singh had claimed that the Congress and its allies, directly or through allied organizations, are attempting to use the youth's energy to incite political confrontation and spread anarchy instead of focusing on constructive work. He alleged that the Congress and its allies desired a change of government similar to Bangladesh.
