ABP News  

Congress MLA Zeeshan Siddiqui on Monday joined the Nationalist Congress Party's 'Jan Sanman Yatra,' led by Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, in a move that has sparked reactions within his party. Siddiqui, who represents the Bandra East constituency, took a veiled swipe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's "Mohabbat ki Dukan" slogan, suggesting that "love has to be in the heart," not just a slogan. Siddiqui's participation in the yatra, after it reached his constituency, has raised eyebrows, particularly as his father, former MLA Baba Siddiqui, recently left Congress to join Ajit Pawar's faction of the NCP. Maharashtra Election Will Put Zeeshan Siddiqui 'In His Place': State Congress Chief Nana Patole Maharashtra Congress president Nana Patole responded to Zeeshan Siddiqui's remarks, indicating that appropriate action would be taken.
