'Ghar Wapsi' for Sanjay Nirupam; former Congress leader returns to Shiv Sena
Having been expelled from Congress last month for "anti-party activities", Nirupam joined the Shiv Sena in CM Shinde's presence today (May 3)
Former Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam joined the Shiv Sena led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Friday.
The former Mumbai MP had left the undivided Shiv Sena nearly two decades ago. But having been expelled from Congress last month for "anti-party activities", Nirupam joined the Shiv Sena in CM Shinde's presence.
Earlier today, calling it a 'ghar wapsi' after a span of two decades, Nirupam said, "I have taken a decision to join the Shiv Sena today."
Nirupam had served as editor of 'Dophar Ka Saamana', the Hindi mouthpiece of undivided Shiv Sena, earlier.
