Maharashtra Ex Minister Baba Siddique Joins Ajit Pawar's NCP Days After Quitting Congress
Former Maharashtra Minister Baba Siddique joined Ajit Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party this evening, days after quitting the Congress. Mr Siddique dealt a severe blow to the Congress - of which he was a part of for the last 48 years - when he announced his decision to resign from the party on Thursday, saying "Some decisions are painful, but they have to be taken." He was a prominent Muslim face of the Mumbai Congress and served as a minister when the Congress-NCP coalition was in power in Maharashtra.
