Sanjay Nirupam Tweets

Senior Congress leader while cautioning the party leadership against the alliance said, "Several years ago, the Congress made a mistake of tying up with the Bahujan Samajwadi Party (BSP) in Uttar Pradesh. It faced a rout and since then it has not been able to recover. We are making the same mistake in Maharashtra,” Nirupam said in a tweet. “Becoming a number three party in the Shiv Sena-led government is akin to burying the Congress in the state. It is better if the Congress President does not succumb to the pressure."
