00:00 In another big shock for the Congress party, Baba Siddiqui, the former state minister of
00:07 Maharashtra has now reportedly resigned from the party.
00:11 Baba Ziauddin Siddiqui had served as the MLA of the Vandhre West Vidhan Sabha constituency
00:15 in the Indian state of Maharashtra.
00:18 In his tweet, Baba Siddiqui stated, "I joined the Indian National Congress party as a young
00:22 teenager and it has been a significant journey lasting 48 years," in an announcement of his
00:28 decision on X. "With the immediate effect, I am leaving the Indian National Congress
00:33 party, INC India, as of today.
00:36 I would like to say a lot but sometimes it's better to keep things quiet.
00:40 I express my gratitude to all those involved in this adventure."
00:45 This announcement comes as a big shocker for the Congress party as just a few days ago,
00:49 another big Congress leader had bid adieu to the party.
00:53 If one remembers, just a few days ago, Milind Deora, the former Congress leader, had announced
00:58 his resignation from the primary membership of the Congress party, bringing an end to
01:03 his family's 55-year association with the party.
01:07 Taking to X, Milind Deora had also tweeted that this marks the conclusion of a significant
01:11 chapter in his political journey.
01:13 He has tendered his resignation, ending all sort of association with his family's 55-year
01:18 relationship with the party.
01:21 For the unaware, Baba Siddiqui was the MLA for three consecutive terms in 1999, 2004
01:26 and 2009.
01:27 He has also served as the Minister of State for Food and Civil Supplies, Labour and FDA
01:33 and also served as the Municipal Corporator earlier for two consecutive terms in 1992
01:38 and 1997.
01:41 He also served as the Chairperson and Senior Vice President of the Mumbai Regional Congress
01:44 Committee and Parliamentary Board of the Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee.
01:49 And now, he has decided to leave the party, raising questions about the party's leadership,
01:54 especially over the Gandhi family.
01:56 Now reports are swelling in that Siddiqui might join NCP, the National Congress Party.
02:02 But whose faction, whether it's Ajit Pawar or Sharad Pawar, that is something that will
02:06 be answered in near future.
02:08 But as of now, the questions are to be raised on the Congress Party.
