Ahead of the assembly elections in Maharashtra, Zeeshan Siddiqui, son of late NCP leader Baba Siddiqui, joined the Ajit Pawar-led NCP. Zeeshan Siddiqui is currently the Congress MLA from Bandra East seat and is contesting this election as an NCP candidate. Maha Vikas Aghadi member Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray) has given a ticket to Varun Desai from Bandra East.
As soon as Ajit Pawar joined the NCP with the ‘clock’ electoral symbol, he gave the ticket to Zeeshan from his own seat, Bandra East.
