Zeeshan Siddique named Mumbai NCP chief to grow party's base

Former Bandra (East) MLA Zeeshan Siddique, 34, has been appointed Mumbai chief of the Ajit Pawar-led NCP, tasked with expanding a party that has just one MLA in the city and no civic presence. The son of late Baba Siddique joined the NCP after leaving the Congress. His appointment may irk some insiders who still view him as an outsider close to Parth Pawar.
