All India Congress Committee in-charge for Telangana Manik Rao Thakre has reiterated that the Congress doesn’t choose its Chief Minister till the elections are over and it is the only party where every senior leader has the opportunity to be the Chief Minister.
Making light of the controversy over the Chief Ministerial candidate in Telangana, he said on Wednesday that the party had several leaders across social groups to lead the State as Chief Minister. He didn’t find any fault with the names cropping up for the post, and said it only showed the strength of the party and the representation it gives to various sections.
His comments come in the wake of TPCC president A. Revanth Reddy’s comments in the U.S. that MLA Seethakka too was eligible to become Chief Minister from the Congress. Some leaders found fault with his comments that were apparently made in the context that the party offered opportunities to everyone and anyone with the blessings of party high command and the MLAs’ choice could take the coveted post.
