Talking to media, TRS MP Balka Suman claimed that Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao was committed towards the welfare of minorities in Telangana State.
Suman said KCR's commitment could be understood from the fact that five out of 10 chairmen appointed were Muslims.
He said that KCR was working towards empowerment of Muslim community. He alleged that other political parties treated Muslims only as vote banks. However, the TRS Government has been ensuring the socio-political and economic empowerment of the entire community.
Suman said that the TRS Government has established Gurukul hostels exclusive for minorities to ensure their educational development.
He said schemes like Shaadi Mubarak were introduced to provide financial assistance for the marriage of poor Muslim girls. Suman said that the credit for ensuring social justice goes to TRS. The AIMIM also appreciated the gesture of the Chief Minister.
According to a party leader, Muslims constitute over 12 percent of the population in the state and it was good that non-official posts were given to them.
