Owaisi now promises two CMs for UP

Lucknow, January 22

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Saturday launched a new pre-poll front, “Bhagidari Parivartan Morcha”, promising two Chief Ministers for Uttar Pradesh, if the new front is voted to power.

Launching the new outfit, the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief also promised three Deputy CMs for the state, saying his new front would fight the UP poll on all 403 seats.

Out of the two CMs, one will belong to the backward classes and the other to the Dalit community, he said, adding the state would also have three Deputy CMs, with one belonging to the Muslim community. Owaisi did not explain under what provision of the Constitution the state will have two CMs. —
