A young preacher and his fledgling party are at the centre of a rift within the Congress in Bengal, where elections will take place from March-end. ISF (Indian Secular Front) chief Abbas Siddique, who is popular as "Bhaijaan" among his supporters, is from the Furfura Sharif shrine in Hooghly district, around 50 km from Kolkata.
