Nirupam, a former MP from Mumbai North, was expelled from the Congress days after he hits out at his party leadership amid seat-sharing talks with Shiv Sena (UBT) for the Lok Sabha elections.

On Wednesday, the party in a statement issued by its general secretary KC Venugopal said, "Taking note of the complaints of indiscipline and anti-party statements,the Hon'ble Congress president has approved the expulsion of Shri Sanjay Nirupam from the party for six years with immediate effect".

Earlier in the day, Nirupam on his social media post X had asked the Congress "not to waste much energy and stationery for me. Instead use your remaining energy and stationery to save the party".
