Chowdhary Matin Ahmed, 4 term MLA of Congress’s district president son and councillor daughter – in – law join AAP.
As the Delhi elections are approaching near and Congress party trying to revitalise itself to pose challenge to Arvind Kejrival’s party despite being very much the part of the INDIA alliance as there is no hope of AAP giving them their due seat share, the Congress suffered a jolt after the politician son and the daughter in law of its seasoned leader and four term lawmaker from Seelampur joined the Aam Admi Party whose senior leaders including the the Delhi CM Atishi and Sanjay Singh, Rajya Sabha MP according them a rousing welcome.
The Congress party’s four term lawmaker and seasoned leader of Delhi especially popular among the minorities Chowdhary Matin Ahmed’s son Chowdhary Zuber Ahmed and Shagufta Chowdhary have joined the AAM ADMI Party.
The joining of Shagufta and Chowdhary Zuber Ahmed were welcomed in the party by Arvind Kejrival personally who enrolled them as the active member of AAP.
Seelampur is a muslim dominated constituency and Chowdhary Matin Ahmed represented it for more than 1.5 decades incessantly always in the good books of the then Delhi CM Sheila Dikshit.
However, while there are possibilities of AAP giving ticket to Matin Ahmed’s son from AAP, the former says that he won’t leave Congress as he has tremendous faith in the party ideology which has given so much to him.
Conclusively, the seat will remain with the Matin Ahmed family either from the side of AAP or Congress as BJP has no say in Seelampur.
There are reports that since the electorates are annoyed and not happy with the performance of the sitting MLA of AAP Abdul Rehman , there is possibility of his replacement and Zuber Ahmed bagging the ticket to dissuade the anti incumbency syndrome.
Sitting MLA of AAP from Seelampur Abdul Rehman is also the chief of Delhi minorities cell of AAP and there are reports that he had probably quit from this post.
The Congress has suffered due to Zuber resigning and joining AAP and his wife too who is the Municipal councillor on Congress ticket. Zuber was the district Congress president.
