Baba Siddique's Son Zeeshan Joins Ajit Pawar's NCP, To Fight Maharashtra Polls From Bandra East

He was expelled from Congress in August for allegedly voting against the party during the Maharashtra legislative council elections, a claim he has denied.

“It is an emotional day for me and my family. I am thankful to Ajit Pawar, Praful Patel, Sunil Tatkare for believing in me in these tough times. I have got the nomination from Bandra East, I am sure that with the love and support of all the people, I will definitely win Bandra East yet again,” said Zeeshan after joining the NCP.

The 32-year-old leader is the son of NCP (Ajit Pawar faction) leader and former Maharashtra minister Baba Sidiqqui, who was shot dead earlier this month.
