Ahead of the much crucial BMC Polls, the President of the Mumbai Regional Congress Committee’s minority department, Nizamuddin Rayeen has quit Congress, accusing the party of ignoring minority community members during election and in decision making.
 
“I have quit the party as there is no scope for Muslim leadership to evolve and the community is not considered while taking organisational decisions as well as ticket distribution for elections. The party remembers Muslims only as a vote bank,” Rayeen told PTI.
 
Rayeen said despite being a Parliamentary Board member, he is not aware of the meeting taking place for selection of candidates for the civic polls scheduled next month.
 
 
He said his list of candidates were disregarded.
 
He said he will take a decision on his next political step in a day or two.
