Former Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam claims that he resigned from the party hours before his expulsion order was issued.
Sanjay Nirupam, former Congress MP, claimed that he resigned from the party hours before being expelled for six years. Sanjay Nirupam said the disciplinary action against him came only after he had already resigned from the party’s primary membership.
The former MP from Mumbai North-West constituency shared a screenshot of his resignation letter on X (formerly Twitter), a day after he was expelled from Congress for anti-party statements.
Nirupam said, “Looks like, immediately after the party received my resignation letter last night, they decided to issue my expulsion. Good to see such promptness. Just sharing this information. I will give detailed statement today between 11.30 to 12 PM.”
In his letter to Congress Mallikarjun Kharge, Nirupam wrote, “I have finally decided to fulfil your much-awaited desire and hereby announce that I choose to resign from the primary membership of All India Congress Committee. This communication may be considered as my resignation letter. Kindly acknowledge the same.”
Nirupam added that there is infighting among the “power centres” of the party, which are Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and other top leadership.
“I’m saying this from my own experience of the last many years. There are lakhs of workers in Congress who are affected with this structure as they are not part of any of these power centers.,” he added.
Sanjay Nirupam further said that there the infighting among the “power centres” of Congress will lead to the downfall of the party.
Praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Nirupam said, “Currently, in India, the price of gold, age of daughters and popularity of Modi ji is continuously on rise.”
