Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam was expelled from the party on April 04. Addressing a press conference in Mumbai, Sanjay Nirupam lashed out at Congress leadership and said, “I made an announcement yesterday and sent my resignation to Mallikarjun Kharge at around 10:40. I think right after they made this decision (to expel me from the party)...Congress party is a completely scattered party and the leaders of the party have also said that its ideology is directionless."Further, he said, "Earlier there used to be one power centre in the Congress party... but now there are five power centres in the Congress party and all five have their own lobbies which keep clashing with each other...In these five centres, first is Sonia Gandhi, second is Rahul Gandhi, third is Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, fourth is Mallikarjun Kharge and last is Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal ji... all of them are doing politics in their own way..."

Talking about Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s decision to run the government from jail, Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam on March 23 said that Arvind Kejriwal should resign from his position as Delhi Chief Minister on moral grounds of his arrest.“... The Court will decide if Arvind Kejriwal has taken any money or not, I cannot say anything on that... But when a person, especially a CM, is accused of corruption and says that he will run the government from jail and not resign, this indicates a very wrong trend... A person who taught honesty from 2011-14 and claimed that he is a ‘Kattar Imaandar’, is not displaying any basic elements of ethics... If he is honest, then he should resign... Running a government from jail is not legal and practically possible... On the basis of ethics and legalities, he (Arvind Kejriwal) should resign...”Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit also said that it would be better from an administrative point of view that he nominates someone else as the Delhi Chief Minister.  “Whether he continues to be the CM and run the government from jail is AAP’s internal matter but there is no law that bans it. It will be better from an administrative point of view that he (Arvind Kejriwal) nominates someone else,” said Sandeep Dikshit.
