However, Siddique walked up to the stage as Congress’s Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury was addressing the crowd, amid chants of “bhaijaan”. A miffed Chowdhury returned to his seat, refusing to complete his speech until he was persuaded by Left Front chairman Biman Bose to take up the microphone again. Siddique, on his part, showered the Left with praises for giving him 30 seats but made no mention of the Congress in his entire speech.
