Capping a day of fast-moving developments, the Congress has expelled Sanjay Nirupam, a senior leader from Maharashtra, for six years for his "anti-party statements". Earlier on Wednesday, the party had removed him from the list of star campaigners and sources had said that a proposal to expel him was being prepared by the state unit to be sent to the central leadership.
The proposal was made after Mr Nirupam made a string of remarks against Congress' INDIA ally, Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) and its leader Uddhav Thackeray after it announced some candidates for the Lok Sabha constituencies in Maharashtra, including the North West Mumbai seat, which was being eyed by the Congress leader.
