NDTV
Zeeshan Siddique was removed from his post as the Mumbai Youth Congress president on Wednesday, just days after his father Baba Siddique resigned from Congress.
Zeeshan Siddique, son of former Congress leader Baba Siddique and recently dethroned as the party's youth wing president of its Mumbai unit, on Thursday claimed an unconventional obstacle he faced in his quest to meet Rahul Gandhi - a weight loss programme.
Mr Siddique claimed that during Congress' 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' in Maharashtra's Nanded, he was informed by people close to Rahul Gandhi that he needed to shed 10 kilograms before being granted an audience with the Congress scion.
"During the previous 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' in Nanded, I was told by one of the persons close to Rahul Gandhi that I should lose 10kg before they could let me meet him," he said.
