Mysore/Mysuru: In an attempt to polarise voters again in the name of caste in the next election, a new political movement ‘ALINGOW’ will take shape under the leadership of former Union Minister C.M. Ibrahim, who dissociated himself from the Congress after he was denied the post of leader of Congress in the Legislative Council.
‘ALINGOW’ stands for Alpasankyataru (Minorities), Lingayats and Gowdas and it will be pitted against AHINDA (Alpasankhyataru, Hindulidavaru and Dalitaru) — a social movement forged by Minorities, Backwards and Dalits — and former CM Siddharamaiah is one of the AHINDA leaders. In fact, Ibrahim was associated with AHINDA and now he has fallen out with Siddharamaiah. Both the leaders were associated with AHINDA before they joined Congress. Ibrahim has already decided to quit Congress and is looking at various political options and one of them is floating ‘ALINGOW’.
