Party workers 'celebrate' defection of this MLC, say good riddance

Party workers in Chinnakodur, Siddhipet, Dubbak and other areas burst crackers. They said that his departure would unburden the Congress of a useless leader. DCC vice-president said Farooq has deserted the party as he was afraid that his political two-timing has become public knowledge and the Congress was all set to suspend him from the party.
