Abbas Siddiqui mentioned his social gathering ISF will doubtless contest on all 294 seats in West Bengal Assembly elections.
For West Bengal CM and Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee, tackling the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) within the run as much as the Assembly elections was already proving to be a frightening process. Mamata’s challenges are sure to extend manifold with influential cleric of Furfura Sharif Dargah in Hooghly district floating his personal social gathering.
Abbas Siddiqui on Thursday floated a brand new political outfit – Indian Secular Front (ISF) – forward of the upcoming meeting polls. Siddiqui or Pirzada of Furfura Sharif, as he’s famously recognized, mentioned his social gathering is prone to discipline candidates on all 294 Assembly seats within the state.

Siddiqui made his ambitions clear, saying he needs to be the ‘kingmaker’ in Bengal.
“We have formed this party to ensure that constitutional democracy is protected, everybody gets social justice and all of us live with dignity,” Siddiqui mentioned after asserting the launch of his social gathering at Kolkata Press Club.
“It is the duty of Mamata Banerjee as the chief minister of the state to take everybody along to stop the march of the BJP, not mine,” he mentioned responding to a query whether or not his outfit will attempt to forge an alliance with Mamata’s TMC.

Meanwhile, Owaisi has voiced his help for the ISF.
Every election, columns are devoted to analyse Muslim voters, however not others. This creator has argued elsewhere that TMC’s floor is slipping. Where’s the consistency?
