Accompanying him as Deputy CM is Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, who aspired to the chief ministerial role himself. Nonetheless, the historic nature of Vikramarka’s appointment lies in being the first Dalit to hold this position in the country’s youngest state.
However, according to political analysts, having a Dalit chief minister would have aligned with the Congress’ ‘maarpu’ (change) agenda. This resonates with Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader K Chandrasekhar Rao’s commitment in 2014 to appoint a Dalit CM, which he reneged on twice.
During an interview before the Assembly elections, Bhatti Vikramarka had said: “For the post of Chief Minister, the Congress party has many capable leaders to lead the state and head governance. And it is an asset to the Congress party and also the state. I am also one among them … I am among the aspirants of CLP leader.”
