Patna: As Assembly elections are round the corner in Bihar, all political parties are trying to woo Muslims. The opposition RJD-LJP alliance has announced that if it came to power, deputy chief minister will be a Muslim. Though the alliance is yet to officially declare candidate for the post, LJP National Vice President Ahmad Ashfaq Karim has projected Maulana Wali Rahmani.
TwoCircles.net went to common Muslims to know if they are comfortable with the name of Maulana Rahmani for the post of Dy CM. All the people we talked to were agreed on Sajjada Nasheen of Khanqah Munger Maulana Rahmani’s name but they expressed doubt that the announcement of RJD-LJP alliance may be a political gimmick and they would not keep their word after they won the elections.
Maulana Wali Rahmani is suitable man for the post
Is Maulana Wali Rahmani suitable man to be Dy CM of Bihar? “In my view he deserves the post because this is the post which should be held by a person who has corruption-free background and Maulana Rahmani is fulfilling the criteria. So, he must be given the chance” replied Qamr-e-Alam Khan, a shopkeeper near Patna Railway Junction.
“Yes, I fully support the idea that Maulana Rahmani should take over the post of Deputy CM in case RJD-LJP alliance wins” said Mohammad Khalid, a businessman.
“First of all the alliance is not going to get victory and suppose it gets then Maulana Rahmani is among those who should hold the post” told Afroz Alam, another businessman.
Javed Alam, a street vendor, was also of the opinion that if they sincerely chose Maulana Rahmini as candidate it is good.
Projecting Muslim Dy CM is a good move
Among those who hailed the idea of Muslim Dy CM were Qamr-e- Alam Khan and Mohammad Khalid who loudly appreciated the announcement and termed it as a good move.
“I think it is good move if they are sincere in their announcement. There must be a Muslim deputy CM” said Qamr-e-Alam Khan.
“Yes, I am agreed with the proposal of Muslim Deputy CM, I want to see Muslim on the post of Deputy CM” said Mohammad Khalid.
It is a political gimmick
But there were some who rejected the idea saying that it is all about to get Muslims’ support and they are making such promises only for their political gain.
“It is nothing but a political gimmick and we consider it as false promise because Ram Vilas Pawan has made such promise during last Assembly election but nothing happened. These leaders will never give chance to a Muslim to be Dy CM. How can we believe such promises while Ram Vilas Paswan has already projected his brother as Dy CM” said Afroz Alam
“It is a trick of RJD-LJP to win Muslim’s sympathy. This is a falsehood, therefore it is not going to benefit Muslims” said Javed Alam.
