Will talk only to Modi, want deputy CM post: Delhi's lone independent MLA

After the Delhi electorate gave both the BJP and AAP a mandate just short of a clear majority, the political kingmaker in the national capital could now be lone independent elected representative - Rambir Shokeen. [caption id=“attachment_1276145” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] ![Independent candidate Rambeer Shoken.

While he denies having spoken to any party yet, the new elected representative from the Mundka constituency admits he is a big fan of BJP’s PM candidate Narendra Modi. “I am not in talks with BJP or any other party yet. But if Modi asks me, then I will talk to the BJP. I am a huge fan of Modi,” Shokeen told CNN-IBN. And what post does Shokeen want? “The only condition of joining the BJP is the post of deputy CM, I don’t want anything to else. If Modi offers me the post of deputy CM in Delhi, then I will join BJP.” Shokeen said he will go back to his people and ask them which party he should join - BJP or AAP. “Whoever they like and feel they can trust, I will join that party,” he said. While BJP sources have said that he also had an additional demand, that Vijay Goel be made the Chief Minister, Shokeen says “he will see what happens.”
