Members of the Muslim community and local leaders staged a protest near the Visvesvaraya statue in Mandya on Saturday, urging the state leadership to appoint senior Congress leader and Narasimharaja MLA Tanveer Sait as deputy chief minister.
Protesters Highlight Sait's Experience
The protesters said Sait is one of the most experienced leaders in Karnataka politics and has served people with dedication for several decades. They emphasised his administrative experience, electoral success, and contributions to the party's growth.
Demand for Broader Representation
Community representatives said Sait has consistently worked for the welfare of all sections of society and has earned the trust of people across the state. They argued that appointing him as deputy chief minister would not only recognise his long political career but also ensure broader representation in the government.
Appeal to Congress High Command
The demonstrators urged the Congress high command to consider their demand while finalising Cabinet appointments.
