Sanjay Nirupam has been hitting out at the Uddhav Thackeray-led party ever since it named its candidates for Lok Sabha seats in Maharashtra
The Maharashtra unit of the Congress is prepping a proposal to expel party leader Sanjay Nirupam for his recent remarks against INDIA ally, Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray), over seat-sharing for the Lok Sabha election. The proposal would be sent across to the Congress high command in Delhi and the party's disciplinary committee will take the final call.
The decision was taken at a meeting of the state Congress committee, which has also decided to push for the removal of Mr Nirupam from the party's list of star campaigners in the run-up to the polls. Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole said, "We have taken him off as a star campaigner and have also initiated disciplinary action against him over the statements he made."
A former MP of both the House of Parliament, Mr Nirupam has been hitting out at the Uddhav Thackeray-led party ever since it named its candidates for the Lok Sabha seats in Maharashtra.
