Sanjay Nirupam joined Shiv Sena as his first political party.[9] Nirupam made allegations against Sunil Dutt due to which Mr Dutt filed a defamation case against Nirupam.[10] In 2005, Nirupam was shown the door and asked to resign from Shiv Sena due to anti party activties.[11] He joined the Congress Party a month later.[12]

He highlighted the irregularity of the sale of Centaur hotel & fought for the rights of the employees.[clarification needed] In Parliament he sought clarification from Arun Shourie (the then Disinvestment Minister).

Mr Nirupam participated in Bigg Boss (Season 2) . The viewers could not connect with him and he was the first person to be eliminated within a week.[13] Unable to bear the humiliation, he made allegations about voting pattern being dishonest in Big Boss.

In a very short span of time Congress President Sonia Gandhi appointed him as the General Secretary of Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee [MPCC] the State Unit of the Congress party. He worked as an election observer on behalf of All India Congress Committee [AICC] in three states Goa, Gujarat & Nagaland.

Mr Nirupam is known for making controversial and loud statements which often land him in trouble, Shree Sunil Dutt filed a defamation case against him during 2004 elections because Mr Nirupam lied that Sunil Dutt attended the parliament only 3 times when in reality Sunil Dutt had attended 99 times.[15] Nirupam had a fight with Smriti Irani as well on national TV and called her as a 'Thumke langane waali', he even made some personal remarks on her private life saying ' Kya character hain tumhara? Apni dost ka divorce karke uske pati ke saath bhag gayi?( what is your character? you cheated your friend and ran away with his husband).[16] Later on , he said he was actually singing a bhajan and not abusing Mrs Irani.[17] Nirupam also had called legendary actor Dilip Kumar as a "Pakistani".[18] Owing to his loud and obnoixious behavior , Mr Nirupam has been awarded titles of "loudmouth" and "motormouth"[19][20][21]

He was defeated in 2014 loksabha election from Mumbai North constituency by a margin of more than 4.5 lakh votes, it was the biggest thrashing any Congress candidate received in Mumbai.[22] Unable to bear the humiliation of such a sound thrashing, Nirupam made allegations that the EVM have been tampered with( he made similar allegations when he was eliminated from Bigg Boss in 6 days).[23][24] Sanjay Nirupam & Smriti Irani were involved in a cross defamation case in which the court has directed both the parties to settle it amicably [25][26] Mr Nirupam was again embroiled in a controversy when he described BJP and Shiv Sena MPs who were democratically elected by the people of Mumbai as 'Monkeys'.[27] Mr Nirupam broke the law on the 10th of October 2014 when in spite of not having clearance, he decided to hold a protest against the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi.
