After three DCM demand, another Congress leaders demands six DCMs in Karnataka
Bengaluru: Senior Congress legislator in Karnataka, Basavaraj Rayareddy, has extended his support to Minister KN Rajanna's proposal for the appointment of three new Deputy Chief Ministers (DCMs) in the state ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. In a press statement on Saturday, Rayareddy not only endorsed the demand but also suggested increasing the number of new DCMs to six.
Rayareddy addressed reporters, stating, "Minister Rajanna has made an appropriate demand, and I fully endorse it. Given that the Congress party represents and supports all religions and castes, I propose that Karnataka appoint six new Deputy Chief Ministers before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections."
He emphasized that such a move would ensure not only representation for various religions and castes but also equitable representation for different zones within Karnataka. Rayareddy further explained that party leaders believe creating additional DCM positions could increase the party's chances of winning a greater number of Lok Sabha seats.
"I believe that instead of limiting the number to just three new Deputy Chief Ministers, we should consider appointing six Deputy Chief Ministers to achieve our goals," concluded Rayareddy.
