Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Veteran Maharashtra leader Sanjay Nirupam, who left Congress during the Lok Sabha election campaign, today (Thursday) made a verbal attack on the Gandhi family. He said, '5 power centers have been formed in Congress. In which the names of Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi are included. The Congress party has become ideologically fragmented and directionless. There is a conflict going on in the Congress party at present. Gandhi's secularism was adopted by Nehru and religion is missing from Nehru's secularism. The Congress party raised questions on people's faith in Lord Ram. It is noteworthy that on Wednesday, Congress took major action against rebel leader Sanjay Nirupam. Congress suspended him for six years for his involvement in anti-party activities.
A khichdi thief was made a candidate from my area: Sanjay Nirupam
Sanjay Nirupam said in the press conference, 'The rest of Shiv Sena leaders (Uddhav Thackeray) went to Delhi two days ago and called BJP a corrupt Janata Party.

mutual tussle in congress
Attacking Congress, Sanjay Nirupam said, 'Now the question is why Congress is doing this. Congress is a divided party today. Everyone says it is ideologically directionless. Earlier there was a power center here. The rest were his courtiers. Today there are five power centers in Congress and they have their own lobbies and caucuses. Today there are fights among themselves. Ordinary workers like me face problems due to this.
Difficulties for leaders in Congress increased
Regarding secular, Sanjay Nirupam said, 'Today Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge and K.C. Venugopal has become the power center in Congress. People close to Khadge lack experience and talk big. He has suddenly come closer and now talks lies. No one is understanding what Venugopal is saying. There is a conflict going on between the lobbies in Congress. The problems of leaders in Congress are increasing. At last my patience broke and today I am sitting in front of you. Disappointment has deepened among the workers. Congress often says that we are a secular party. Gandhiji brought Congress.
Sanjay Nirupam opened front against Congress

Meanwhile, Shiv Sena (Uddhav) took a unilateral decision and announced its candidates for four of the six Lok Sabha seats in Mumbai, including Mumbai North-West seat. Sanjay Nirupam was angry about this. Even before this, he had expressed displeasure over the dominance of Uddhav group in seat distribution.
