ISF leader Naushad Siddiqui meets CM Mamata, sparks speculation

An unexpected meeting between Indian Secular Front (ISF) MLA Naushad Siddiqui and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in the West Bengal Assembly on Monday has ignited widespread discussions in political circles. The nature of the discussions remains speculative, but the meeting has undoubtedly added a new twist to state politics.

Naushad Siddiqui, representing the Bhangar assembly constituency, has recently been in the spotlight for several reasons. Tensions between the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the ISF in Bhangar have been escalating. Former TMC MLA Arabul Islam made aggressive statements against Siddiqui, even threatening him with violence by TMC workers. In response, Siddiqui questioned why the administration had not taken action against such statements.

Siddiqui has also claimed that allegations against him are part of a political vendetta, orchestrated by TMC leader Sabyasachi Dutta. Despite these tensions, the reason behind Siddiqui's meeting with Banerjee remains unclear, leading to intense speculation about possible outcomes, including potential party switching.

Neither Naushad Siddiqui nor Mamata Banerjee have commented publicly on the meeting, but it has undoubtedly stirred the political landscape in West Bengal.
