Speaking at Bihar BJP’s extreme backward class state executive meeting, Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi said that the next PM of India could be from extreme backward class. He said current circumstances clearly suggest so.

Sushil Modi said that BJP has given respect to extreme backward class from day one. He gave example of Shivraj Sinh, Uma Bharti, Kalyan Singh and Narendra Modi as party’s leaders from extreme backward class.

He said the last decision on who should be made candidate for the post of PM will be taken by party’s parliamentary board, however the decision would be in favor of a leader who is most popular among party workers and among the people.
