BMC polls : Mumbai Congress chief Sanjay Nirupam offers to quit as party bites dust

Mumbai, Feb 23 (IBNS) : Taking moral responsibility for Congress' poor performance in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) polls, the party's Mumbai unit chief Sanjay Nirupam on Thursday offered to resign from his post.

According to the latest information, the Congress is leading in only 20 of BMC's 227 seats with the Shiv Sena being ahead in 92 seats and the BJP in 73.

In 2012 the Congress had won 52 wards of the corporation.

Media reports said while talking to reporters, Nirupam criticised the  party leaders in the city who, he said, wished that the Congress lose the elections.

"In their aim to defeat me, they caused immense harm to the party," he said.
