On Saturday, he officially joined the party in the presence of Congress Maharashtra in-charge Ramesh Chennithala in Mumbai. Anees Ahmed, once a close aide of late Congress leader Ahmed Patel and a staunch loyalist of the Gandhi family, was denied a ticket by the Congress from his traditional North Nagpur seat.
