Ajit Pawar-led NCP - Baba Siddique - Indian National Congress - Maharashtra politics

Baba Siddique, a prominent figure in Mumbai Congress, bids farewell to Congress after nearly five decades, stirring political waves.

Former Maharashtra minister, Baba Siddique, recently announced his resignation from the Indian National Congress (INC) after a significant 48-year-long affiliation with the party. This move comes as a surprise to many, especially considering Siddique's deep-rooted ties with the Congress, dating back to the early days of his political career. Siddique, a well-known minority face in the Mumbai Congress circles, had also held a ministerial position during the Congress-NCP coalition's tenure in power. His departure marks a significant shift in the political landscape, hinting at potential changes within the Mumbai Congress leadership.

The decision made by Siddique to part ways with Congress has raised eyebrows and sparked various speculations about his future political alignments. Siddique's long-standing influence and connections in both political and Bollywood spheres add intrigue to his next move. Notably, Siddique's son, Zeeshan, is the MLA for Bandra East, further underlining the family's political legacy in the region. His exit from Congress signifies a notable event in Mumbai's political scene, leaving observers curious about the implications and ripple effects that may follow.

As Siddique prepares to join forces with the Ajit Pawar-led NCP, the dynamics of Maharashtra politics are poised for potential shifts and realignments. This transition marks a pivotal moment not only for Siddique's political journey but also for the broader political landscape in Maharashtra. Siddique's decision to align with NCP hints at a strategic move that could impact the existing political equations and power dynamics in the state. With his upcoming association with NCP, all eyes are on Siddique as he navigates this new chapter in his political career.
