"I will wait for a week for the Congress leadership to take a decision after which I am open to all the options," Sanjay Nirupam said.
Congress leader and former Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Nirupam today urged the party to consider pulling the plug on their alliance with Shiv Sena (UBT). Mr Nirupam's remarks come hours after the Uddhav Thackeray-led party snubbed Congress and independently released its list of 16 candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. #ElectionsWithNDTV | "If Congress wants to save the party, it should break alliance with Shiv Sena": Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam on Uddhav Thackeray-Sena's first list of candidates for #LokSabhaElection2024pic.twitter.com/AXLAgEtgBk
"The way Shiv Sena UBT has taken 5 seats of Mumbai. It seems that there is a plan to bury Congress in Mumbai. It seems that Shiv Sena wants to force Congress to kneel," the senior Congress leader told reporters.
"I appeal to the Congress leadership to intervene otherwise break the alliance with Shiv Sena. If Shiv Sena thinks it can fight alone then it is making a big mistake," Mr Nirupam added.
