Bhupinder Singh Hooda, a senior Congress leader in Haryana, has stated that if his party wins in 2024, they’ll appoint four Deputy Chief Ministers, including one from the Brahmin community. This follows Kumari Shailja, the Congress General Secretary, rejecting the idea of multiple Deputy Chief Ministers and emphasizing non-caste-based Chief Minister selection.
When asked about Shailja’s response, Hooda mentioned that these issues aren’t in the party’s election manifesto but are purely political. Notably, there’s a divide between Hooda’s and Shailja’s factions within the Haryana Congress, with Shailja’s group opposing Hooda’s political empowerment.
