Before the Maharashtra Assembly elections, Congress has suffered a big setback in Maharashtra. Baba Siddiqui’s son and Bandra East MLA Zeeshan Siddiqui left Congress. He joined Ajit Pawar’s NCP. Zeeshan joined NCP in the presence of Ajit Pawar and Sunil Tatkare. NCP has declared Zeeshan Siddiqui as its candidate from Bandra East Assembly.
Zeeshan Siddiqui is currently the Congress MLA from Bandra East seat. This morning itself Zeeshan has joined NCP (Ajit Pawar). He has taken this step only 13 days after the murder of his father Baba Siddiqui. Zeeshan was thrown out by Congress because his father Baba Siddiqui had joined Ajit Pawar’s NCP. But Zeeshan wanted to be the MLA of the party and stayed in the party.

Zeeshan took a jibe at Congress
Taking a dig at Congress, Zeeshan said that he has heard that old friends have declared their candidate in Bandra East. It was never in their nature to get along. Now the public will take the decision!
Heard that old friends have declared their candidate in Vandre East. It was never in their nature to get along.
