“I had tendered my resignation from the Congress party on 16th May,” Sibal said after filing a nomination for Rajya Sabha elections with the support of SP.

“I filed the nomination as an independent candidate. I am thankful to SP chief Akhilesh Yadav that he supported me. I also wish to convey my gratitude to Azam Khan for the support that he has given me, not just now but over several years,” Sibal added

The veteran Congress leader also said that it is important to be an independent voice. “While staying in Opposition we want to create an alliance so that we can oppose the Modi govt.”

Reacting to the development, Akhilesh told ANI, “Today Kapil Sibal filed nomination. He is going to Rajya Sabha with SP’s support. Two more people can go to the House. Kapil Sibal is a senior lawyer. He has presented his opinions well in the Parliament. We hope he’ll present the opinions of both SP as well as himself.”
