BJP vents fury over KCR’s Muslim quota talk
The Telangana Bharatiya Janata Party on Thursday described Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao’s statement to provide 12 per cent reservation to Muslims as a blatant lie.
##BIG-IMAGE#Hyderabad: The Telangana Bharatiya Janata Party on Thursday described Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao’s statement to provide 12 per cent reservation to Muslims as a blatant lie. It also called it unconstitutional and uncouth minority vote bank politics. "BJP strongly disapproves this open and shameless pandering for Muslim votes by CM KCR being in a constitutional position.
Being aware that the reservations limit set by the Supreme Court cannot be violated, clearly SC orders against religion based reservations, CM KCR is still making this kind of deviant statements," Telangana BJP official spokesperson Krishna Saagar Rao said in a media statement today. The BJP leader said that the Chief Minister's statement exposes his pro-Muslim, anti-Hindu and anti-BC/SC/ST mindset.
He said any increased reservation has to be drawn from the quota assigned to BCs, SC and STs. "BJP considers this as an unforgivable misadventure negatively affecting the economically backward classes, in pursuit of public pandering for Muslim votes. BJP believes that CM KCR cannot deliver on this illegal, unconstitutional and uncouth false promise on 12 per cent reservation to Muslims," he said.
