Former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique has joined the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) led by Ajit Pawar, the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra. Siddique's move comes shortly after his resignation from the Congress party on February 8. His induction into the NCP was confirmed during a public event in Mumbai, where he was welcomed by party chief Ajit Pawar amidst celebrations. Siddique expressed a mix of emotions about his departure from Congress, criticizing the party by saying they want votes without working for them and indicating a sense of relief and happiness with his new political alignment. Additionally, more politicians are expected to join the NCP soon.
