Sanjay Nirupam Rahul Gandhi

Amid seat-sharing talks among the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) parties in Maharashtra, Sanjay Nirupam, a prominent Congress leader, has slammed Uddhav Thackeray for prematurely announcing the candidate for Mumbai's North-West Lok Sabha constituency.

Amid firefighting in the Congress following Rahul Gandhi's comments about "supporting, not running" the Maharashtra government, senior party leader Sanjay Nirupam went all out against Uddhav Thackeray, deepening the coalition crisis.

Sonia Gandhi should dissolve the Congress Working Committee (CWC) and Rahul Gandhi should get over his disappointment and return to decision-making in the party, Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam said after a massive twist this morning in which the BJP's Devendra Fadnavis took oath with a deputy, Ajit Pawar of the NCP, which had been collaborating wit...

Disgruntled Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam used the word "nikamma (useless)" in a tweet today that was widely read as a dart at rival Milind Deora, as infighting in the party's Maharashtra unit plumbed new depths. The former MP was tackling speculation over his absence at Rahul Gandhi's rallies in Mumbai in the tweet.

Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam, openly resentful of his leadership for "ignoring" his views on candidates for the October 21 Maharashtra election, predicted today that the party would lose all but "three-four" seats in Mumbai. He also alleged a conspiracy within the Congress to throw out people close to Rahul Gandhi.

If the BJP in Maharashtra is concerned about its political ties with disenchanted ally Shiv Sena, all is not well in the opposition Congress either. Milind Deora, a former parliamentarian from South Mumbai, has indicated that infighting in the party ranks may force him to sit out the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

Asserting his loyalty towards the Congress president, Mumbai Regional Congress Committee (MRCC) president Sanjay Nirupam on Monday said that only Rahul Gandhi would decide whether he was to be ousted or not.

When journalists reached the venue for what they were told would be Congress President Rahul Gandhi's first press conference in Mumbai, they hardly expected it to end in a little over two minutes. Two minutes, 40 seconds, to be precise

When Congress President Rahul Gandhi lands in Mumbai on June 12, a thousand auto-rickshaw drivers have planned to greet him. The Congress seems to be countering the BJP's Sampark for Samarthan campaign with its 'Project Shakti', which aims to galvanise booth-level party workers.

Sanjay Nirupam, the Mumbai Regional Congress Committee (MRCC) chief can breathe a sigh of relief after the party's top leadership granted him a reprieve after controversial articles which showed members of the Gandhi family in a poor light were published in the party's mouthpiece "Congress Darshan".

Two state Congress leaders almost came to blows today over the itinerary of Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi during his coming visit to Mumbai, sources told NDTV.

Controversial remarks about a "generational clash" within the party by Mumbai Congress chief, Sanjay Nirupam, have not gone down well with the party leadership. Several leaders have frowned upon attempts to project Vice President, Rahul Gandhi as a "group leader" within the party trying to promote the young at the cost of the old.

For hours after the news break - first by The Hindu - that Jayanthi Natarajan has quit the Congress with a damning letter against Vice-President Rahul Gandhi, the party's spokespersons were unavailable for comment. Then Sanjay Nirupam offered an impassioned defence of Mr Gandhi and his mother, Sonia, who is party chief.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi today termed Food Security Bill a "historic legislation" and asked party leaders to publicise its import to masses as they gear up for elections scheduled early next year.

Voices pitching for Rahul Gandhi as the prime ministerial candidate in 2014 could be heard loud and clear on the final day of the Congress's Chintan Shivir in Jaipur today.
