Jabalpur: Rajya Sabha member Kapil Sibal on Saturday said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will lose the next month’s Assembly elections in Karnataka.
He was responding to a reporter’s question here about the chances of the Congress, his former party, in the poll-bound southern state.
“If I say we are winning, then I will be called a Congressman,” he said in a lighter vein.
The Grand Old Party will wrest the power from the BJP, he said.
On the formation of a new front of opposition parties, Sibal said, “There should be a common agenda. All parties should come together and I will personally try to work in this direction to set up such a coalition.”
The senior lawyer said to a question that at 75 he was not interested in contesting elections.
On whether he would ever join the Congress again, Sibal said, “I have left Congress, but not its ideology.”
