Kapil Sibal takes ‘double-barrel’ govt jibe at PM Modi in AAP’s mega rally

Former Congress leader and Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal on Sunday took part in the Aam Aadmi Party’s mega rally in Delhi’s Ramlila Maidan against the Centre’s ordinance. At the rally, Kapil Sibal took a jibe at the Central government, accusing it of misusing the central agencies. Kapil Sibal also called the BJP-led government a double-barrel government – one barrel is ED and the second is CBI.

Addressing the gathering, Kapil Sibal said, “I remember before 2014 when we were in the UPA government, Arvind Kejriwal used to oppose us. But times have changed, governments have changed, and prime ministers have changed. He [PM Modi] said, you have given 60 years to Congress, now just give seven months to us, and we will make India progressive and he did change India’s map in 120 months. He made the media, EC, and ED, CBI sit on his lap.”

“PM Modi always talks about double engine government, but the aim is to destroy the entire opposition. This is a double-barrel government, ED and CBI. The constitution says that three things will be at the Center- Land, Police and Public Order and the Kejriwal government of Delhi will not be able to interfere with them. Apart from this, there will be no power with the Centre,” Kapil Sibal said.

The Rajya Sabha MP also mentioned that he will travel to different places in the coming days, uniting everyone to “fight against PM Modi.”

Kapil Sibal has also alleged during the AAP mega rally that the only aim of the BJP government is to “destroy the entire Opposition.”

“In the coming days, I will go to every state and appeal that we have to fight against PM Modi. Just like PM Modi’s ‘Mann ki Baat’, I want to share mine. Today, the public is grinding. There is no department through which the common people are getting benefitted. I made a decision a few months ago that we are starting a website- Soldiers of Justice. I would like to appeal to Arvind Kejriwal to urge people to join,” Kapil Sibal said.

“Together we will defeat Modi ji on one platform,” Kapil Sibal added.
