Sanjay Nirupam No More in Congress, Says Expelled from Party After He Sent Resignation

Mumbai: Maharashtra’s senior Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam on Thursday claimed that he was expelled from the Congress after he submitted his resignation from the party.

On April 3, Sanjay Nirupam posted his resignation letter with a sarcastic tone, on social media, saying, “I have finally decided to fulfill your much-awaited desire and hereby announce that I choose to resign from the primary membership of the All India Congress Committee.”

“This communication may be considered as my resignation letter. Kindly acknowledge the same,” said his resignation letter.

On Wednesday night, the Congress party expelled Nirupam. Taking jibes at the Congress, Nirupam said, “Looks like, immediately after the party received my resignation letter last night, they decided to issue my expulsion. Good to see the such promptness.”

It is said that Nirupam was upset with the Congress top brass at not being nominated for the Mumbai North West Lok Sabha seat.

In the past, without directly naming anyone, Nirupam had also criticized Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, Maharashtra Congress chief Patole and Mumbai Chief Varsha Gaikwad, , for allegedly falling at the knees of the SS(UBT).
