Babri mosque emotion: West Bengal may see Muslim Chief Minister or Deputy CM: Humayun Kabir
Humayun Kabir, suspended TMC MLA, has proposed constructing a new Babri Masjid in Murshidabad as a way to address the political aspirations of Muslims in West Bengal. He claims this issue could significantly influence the 2026 Assembly elections and that his party, the Am Janata Unnayan Party (AJUP), will contest 182 seats with the AIMIM, aiming for either a Muslim Chief Minister or Deputy CM. Kabir also announced he would be contesting from two seats in the upcoming election. His political career has been marked by frequent shifts between different parties, but he asserts that his new party is focused on ensuring representation for Muslims and achieving a Muslim Deputy CM position if not a Chief Minister.
