Reportedly amid the frenzy of assembly elections in maharashtra, Eknath Shinde faction leader Sanjay Nirupam has launched a scathing attack on congress and rahul Gandhi. Sanjay Nirupam said, "Congress is bound to fall. If rahul Gandhi is spending Rs 100 crore on 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' across the country and the party is not getting even 100 seats in the lok sabha elections, then this is not Congress' achievement but misfortune."
It has been questioned as If shiv sena was not divided and uddhav thackeray was leading it, would Sanjay Nirupam have returned to Shiv Sena? Responding to this, Sanjay Nirupam said, "I would not have needed to leave Congress. When shiv sena and congress formed an alliance in 2019, I was the only one in the whole country who opposed it. I had said out loud that this alliance is not right. Both congress and shiv sena will suffer losses in this. Ultimately, congress collapsed." He said, "Although, Congress's seats increased a few times in the lok sabha elections, but those seats did not increase due to Congress's power. Actually, this time the campaign was short, BJP's election campaign was also in low mood, fake narrative was run against PM Modi and the way the minority community voted this time had never happened before, but it is not necessary that the same atmosphere will always remain. After losing the lok sabha elections in maharashtra and Haryana, bjp made a tremendous effort to improve itself, the results of which are visible." congress is bound to fall - Sanjay Nirupam
Furthermore while answering a question further, Sanjay Nirupam said, "If rahul Gandhi spends Rs 100 crore and walks 4000 kms during 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' across the country and says that he directly talked to crores of people. Despite this, if the party is not getting even 100 seats in the lok sabha elections, then this is not Congress's achievement but misfortune." He said, "Along with this, there is the laziness of the congress leaders, that after losing the lok sabha elections twice in a row, when they lose for the third time, they want you to become the leader of the Opposition. If you are celebrating being in the opposition for the third time, celebrating Diwali, bursting crackers, then this is your laziness. I will not call it Congress' achievement. The speed of Congress's fall has just slowed down a bit, but congress is bound to fall. congress can never come back now."
