Former MP Sanjay Nirupam suspended from Congress star campaigners amid speculation of joining BJP.

Former MP Sanjay Nirupam took a dig at Congress amid speculation of joining BJP, reacting to disciplinary action for speaking against Congress leadership over seat-sharing pact with Shiv Sena (UBT). Nirupam's name was dropped from the list of star campaigners, and a decision about him will be made in a day or two. Congress is currently dealing with a "severe financial crisis" and Nirupam urged the party to use its energy to save itself rather than against him.
