Pitch for Muslim among 2 Dy CMs if INDIA bloc wins
The New Indian Express Hubballi
|December 12, 2024
IT appears that all is not well within INDIA bloc partners in Bihar as AICC general secretary and party's co-in-charge Shahnawaz Alam on Wednesday said his party would like to have two deputy chief ministers, including a Muslim, if the coalition formed the next government in the state.
Alam, currently on tour of the state, told party workers that the Congress would like to have two deputy CMs if the INDIA bloc headed by RJD's Tejashwi Prasad Yadav formed the government after the assembly polls due next year.
"It's our resolve that if the next government is headed by Tejashwi, our party shall have two deputy CMs—one a Muslim and the other from Upper Caste (general category)," he said.
