Congress Leader Sanjay Nirupam Joins Shiv Sena, Eknath Shinde In Maharashtra

In Maharashtra, former Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam joined Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde) on Friday, May 3, in the presence of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. Earlier on Friday, Nirupam said joining Shiv Sena after 20 years is like a ‘ghar wapasi’. Sanjay Nirupam’s ties with the Congress party turned sour when the party, as part of the seat-sharing agreement, gave up Mumbai North West to Amol Kirtikar, a candidate from Shiv Sena (UBT).
