Baba Siddiqui’s son Zeeshan Siddiqui has made a big attack on Maha Vikas Aghadi. He has said that Maha Vikas Aghadi reneged on the promise. He kept me in the dark and played with my emotions. Zeeshan is currently the sitting MLA of Congress from Bandra East but recently he has joined Ajit Pawar’s NCP. He will contest the upcoming assembly elections on behalf of Ajit Pawar’s party.
Ajit group has given ticket to Zeeshan Siddiqui from Bandra East. Attacking the Maha Vikas Aghadi, Zeeshan said that MVA leaders had initially met him and promised that he could contest the elections without any opposition as a tribute to his late father’s legacy. However, he said he was kept in the dark until Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena announced its candidate. I was surprised. Zeeshan Siddiqui called MVA hypocritical.
MVA has always been hypocritical – Zeeshan Siddiqui
Zeeshan further said that I was not in the right mental state to think about anything but the MVA leaders came to my house and told me that they are with me and my father’s legacy. He said that as a mark of respect he would let me contest the elections unopposed. They came up with the proposal, but then kept me in the dark. A day later, Shiv Sena-UBT released the name of its candidate. I was taken aback.
He said that MVA has always been hypocritical and it is not new for them to act like this. I just felt sad that at such a time he tried to play with my emotions. On October 12 this month, Zeeshana Siddiqui’s father Baba Siddiqui was shot dead in Bandra East. Voting for 288 assembly seats in Maharashtra is on November 20 in a single phase. The results will come on 23rd November.
