Senior Congress leader and former Cabinet minister Aslam Shaikh wants the party to give the Muslim community a deputy chief minister’s post in the Maha Vikas Aghadi government in Maharashtra. He also demanded that Muslims be given at least 20 per cent share in the party tickets for forthcoming Assembly elections.
Shaikh told mid-day that the Muslims had contributed a great deal to the party’s success in the Lok Sabha elections and would help repeat the performance in the state elections as well. “Our community has not been given the DCM’s post so far. We should get it because I’m confident that the MVA will beat Mahayuti hands down, and the Muslims will play a significant role in the victory,” he added.
