Because of whom did relations with congress deteriorate? 

Veterans of politics participated in ABP News' special program Summit Maharashtra. In this series, Sanjay Nirupam, who left congress and joined shiv sena, also had a special conversation with ABP News. Sanjay Nirupam said that the leaders are not leaving congress but congress is leaving them. He alleged that talent is not valued in Congress.

'Experienced people are not respected in Congress'

Sanjay Nirupam said, "There is no respect for experienced people in the congress party. people who have worked in different states are not respected. In such a situation, the question is how long will people waste themselves here."

'Is it a sin to ask for a ticket?'

On the question of ticket, he said, "Is it a sin to request for one's ticket? If we do not contest the elections then why will we pluck the grass? We were working continuously in our area but when the time of elections came, I came under the pressure of Shiv Sena. You give the seat to them. If you take away my rights then I am free to take the decision."

Big attack on uddhav Thackeray

Sanjay Nirupam said that his relations with congress deteriorated because of uddhav Thackeray. He said, "He (Uddhav Thackeray) has any grudge against me. Some people grow up but their hearts are very small. They think at a very small level. I had contacted him and said leave it sir... .Now let's work together." Taking aim at uddhav thackeray, he further said, "In 2019, when the alliance between shiv sena and congress was taking place, I was the only person in the whole of india who said that this alliance should not happen. I had said that this government should not last more than six months. It will last for two and a half years in which there was Covid."
