‘Upcoming DCM’ posters portraying Zameer Ahmed spring up in Chamarajpet

BENGALURU: Amidst speculation about a potential change in the chief minister, rumours suggest Housing and Haj Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan could be the next deputy chief minister (DCM).

Posters declaring Zameer Ahmed as the next deputy CM have been put up by Block Congress members in Chamarajpet area and the sudden occurrence of the poster has led to debate in political circle.

Posters and banners reading ‘Upcoming DCM’ have appeared in the JJR Nagar area in Chamarajapet, conveying Christmas and New Year wishes.

The debate over Karnataka Congress leadership continues, with the tussle between DK Shivakumar and CM Siddaramaiah temporarily subsiding, but is likely to resurface.

It’s unclear if Zameer Ahmed Khan is being considered for Deputy CM or if this is just fans’ enthusiasm or supporters’ desire, but the posters have given rise to much speculation.
