Sanjay Nirupam said, “The feeling of sacrifice is embedded in the resignation, but here “National position” is being asked the very next moment.”
Mumbai| Hours after the resignation of Milind Deora former Mumbai Congress chief Sanjay Nirupam has taken an indirect dig at him. Nirupam posted a tweet hours after Deora announced his resignation as Mumbai Congress chief questioning his intent. Without naming anyone in the post, Nirupam questioned whether the resignation is a sacrifice or a step to climb up the ladder in the party.
इस्तीफा में त्याग की भावना अंतर्निहित होती है।
यहां तो दूसरे क्षण ‘नेशनल’ लेवल का पद मांगा जा रहा है।
यह इस्तीफा है या ऊपर चढ़ने की सीढ़ी ?
पार्टी को ऐसे ‘कर्मठ’ लोगों से सावधान रहना चाहिए।— Sanjay Nirupam (@sanjaynirupam) July 7, 2019
His statement comes in the light of Milind Deora citing a “bigger national role”- the reason behind his resignation. Nirupam said, “The feeling of sacrifice is embedded in the resignation, but here “National position” is being asked the very next moment.” He also added that the party should beware of such people.
Milind Deora’s Resignation:
Mumbai Congress president Milind Deora on Sunday announced his resignation from the post and said he was looking forward to playing a role at the national level to help stabilize the party. He recommended setting up of a provisional collective leadership comprising three senior Congress leaders to oversee the city party unit till the Maharashtra Assembly polls which are due later this year.

A statement issued by his office on Sunday said taking on the BJP-Shiv Sena and negating the impact of Vanchit Aghadi is a challenge for the Congress in Maharashtra. Milind Deora expressed his desire to quit shortly after meeting Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in New Delhi on June 26.“The same has been conveyed to All India Congress Committee general secretaries Mallikarjun Kharge and K C Venugopal,” the statement said.
Milind Deora said political realities have changed since the Lok Sabha results. “We all will have to get ready for roles that these times demand,” he said.
Disgruntled Sanjay Nirupam:
Ahead of the Lok Sabha elections this year, Congress had appointed Deora as the president of the Mumbai Congress. Deora replaced Sanjay Nirupam who was serving on the position. Nirupam was given a ticket from Mumbai North-west constituency. However, he lost against Sena’s Gajanan Kirtikar.
