    Former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique resigned from Congress on Thursday.

    The former three-time MLA from Bandra (West) made the announcement in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

    Siddique reflected on his journey with the Congress party in his resignation post and expressed gratitude.

    "I joined the Indian National Congress party as a young teenager, and it has been a significant journey lasting 48 years. There's a lot I would have liked to express but as they say some things are better left unsaid," he wrote.

    He has not provided a reason for his resignation from the party.

    According to India Today, Siddique and his son had earlier met with Ajit to discuss their "next course of action."
