From here, ajit pawar faction's party ncp has given ticket to baba Siddiqui's son Zeeshan Siddiqui. Meanwhile, maharashtra minister and ncp leader Chhagan Bhujbal has claimed his victory.
ncp leader Chhagan Bhujbal said, "Zeeshan Siddiqui was elected earlier also. He was an MLA. His father baba Siddiqui was recently murdered, he was a leader of our party. Zeeshan Siddiqui joined ajit pawar faction NCP. After this Zeeshan Siddiqui was once again made the candidate from here. I came here to support him during the nomination on behalf of the party."
Zeeshan Siddiqui will win the election - Chhagan Bhujbal
On the question of varun Sardesai being given a ticket from Bandra east by the uddhav thackeray faction, Chhagan Bhujbal said, "This is a democracy, from where anyone can contest elections. The situation here is different. Zeeshan Siddiqui has been elected from this seat before. baba Siddiqui was also elected from this seat many times. I think that the situation seen in the last 15-20 years suggests that this time too Zeeshan Siddiqui will win from here.
Bandra east seat But Ajit Pawar's party has fielded Zeeshan Siddiqui, while uddhav Thackeray-led party Shiv Sena (UBT) has given ticket to varun Sardesai from here. In such a situation, a tough fight is expected in the electoral battle here.
