Maharashtra Politics: Cong Defamed By Getting Closer To Shiv Sena, says Sanjay Nirupam
Mumbai: After the overnight twist in Maharashtra politics, whereas BJP’s Devendra Fadnavis sworn in Maharashtra CM and NCP’s Ajit Pawar as Deputy CM, Senior Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam urged party’s interim president Sonia Gandhi to “dissolve the Congress Working Committee (CWC)” as the party has been defamed by inching closer to Shiv Sena during the crisis.
Speaking to ANI, Nirupam said, “People may be thinking that I will be happy with today’s developments but I am really very sad. Congress is unnecessarily maligned and thinking of an alliance with Shiv Sena is a mistake.”
The Congress leader, who has been vocal against the triangular alliance of Congress, NCP and Shiv Sena in an attempt to give Maharashtra a stable government, first appealed to Sonia Gandhi to “dissolve the Congress Working Committee”.
“I have been saying not to move closer to Shiv Sena and I would like to urge not to do so in the future. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi should come forward and strengthen the party with those leaders,” he said.
In the overnight development, this morning, BJP’s Devendra Fadnavis was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra for the second time in a row, while Pawar was sworn in as the Deputy Chief Minister of the state.
Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari administered the oath to Fadnavis and Pawar at Raj Bhavan.
