Taking up the opportunity to finally respond to an old tweet, another former Congress senior leader and now Uttar Pradesh Minister in the BJP government, Jitin Prasada had a witty question for Kapil Sibal on the day of his departure’s announcement. Prasada, who swapped Congress for the BJP last year in June ahead of the UP Assembly polls finally decided to reply to an old jibe by Sibal, back when he had left the party.
“Jitin Prasada Joins BJP. The question is will he get “ prasada “ from BJP or is he just a ‘catch’ for UP elections ?,” Sibal had tweeted, adding. “In such deals if ‘ideology’ doesn’t matter changeover is easy.”
