NewDelhi: Kapil Sibal on Wednesday filed the nomination for Rajya Sabha from Samajwadi Party in the presence of party chief Akhilesh Yadav at the party headquarters in Uttar Pradesh. Sibal is known to have close ties with the Yadav family as a senior advocate. Sibal had argued in January 2017 (during the Yadav family feud) at the Election Commission that Akhilesh Yadav should get the ‘Bicycle’ symbol. And eventually, Akhilesh got the symbol.
“Kapil Sibal has just filed his nomination for Rajya Sabha with Samajwadi Party support. He is an eminent lawyer and has a political career. He had effectively put and discussed important issues in Lok Sabha, and Rajya Sabha. The country has many issues facing it and I hope that he will effectively put issues in the Rajya Sabha,” Akhilesh Yadav said.
