That’s Congress stalwart Kapil Sibal bluntly declaring that the Gandhis must go—in an exceptionally candid interview with the Indian Express. This is the first time that a senior party leader has called out the first family—and directly blamed them for the state of the party’s fortunes. The entire interview is worth a read.

An important heads up: The splainer team will be taking Friday off for Holi so there will be no edition on March 18. We’re offering advance notice in case you wake up Friday morning and wonder where we’ve disappeared:)
