Zeeshan Siddique, the newly named NCP candidate for Bandra East, has vowed to continue his father Baba Siddique's legacy following his father's recent assassination. Addressing supporters and media, Siddique expressed his determination to win the state assembly elections by a landmark majority.
Siddique, who previously won the Bandra East seat as a Congress candidate in 2019, was suspended by Congress for cross-voting. Emphasizing his support for NCP's inclusive approach, he criticized Congress for not being truly secular and highlighted the party's recent nomination of a Muslim candidate.
The NCP leader acknowledged the emotional impact of his father's loss on his family, asserting that his father's spirit drives his electoral ambitions and community work. Siddique plans to focus on the progress made in Bandra East, promising voters to continue addressing key local issues, with an eye on the upcoming November elections.
