Uttam questions KCR’s silence on Muslim quota
Coming down heavily on Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao for failing to keep his pre-poll promises, Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president N Uttam Kumar Reddy alleged that former was trying to hide his failures on Muslim welfare by showering praises on Nizam.
The TPCC chief demands implementation of 12 percent Muslim reservation in the 84,000 jobs which the Chief Minister has promised
Hyderabad: Coming down heavily on Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao for failing to keep his pre-poll promises, Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president N Uttam Kumar Reddy alleged that former was trying to hide his failures on Muslim welfare by showering praises on Nizam.
“Chandrashekar Rao did not even spare Haj pilgrims who are going on a holy journey. Instead of speaking about what his government has done for the minorities, especially Muslims, he delivered a lecture on Nizam’s achievements while flagging off the 4th batch of Haj pilgrims at the Haj House on Tuesday.
The Chief Minister wrongly believes that he could avoid questioning by Muslim community on his failures only if he says a few sentences in praise of Nizam,” Uttam Kumar Reddy said while speaking to media persons at Haj House after flagging off the 5th batch of Haj pilgrims on Wednesday.
Uttam Kumar Reddy condemned Chandrashekar Rao’s silence on implementation of 12 percent Muslim reservation. “Although the Bill to increase the Muslim quota was passed in both the Houses in April this year, the increased quota remained unimplemented for the academic year 2017-18. Similarly, Muslims did not get 12 percent quota in nearly 27,000 jobs which government claims to have provided during the last three years.
Chandrashekar Rao had promised to implement 12 percent Muslim reservation within four months after coming to power. But even after four years, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi government is not in a position to specify the deadline for its implementation. He should give an assurance that 12 percent Muslim quota will be implemented in another 84,000 jobs which he is promising to provide now,” he demanded.
Earlier, Uttam Kumar Reddy interacted with the Haj pilgrims at Haj House and enquired about the facilities being provided to them. Addressing the gathering, he appealed the pilgrims to pray for peace and prosperity of India, especially Telangana State. He told them that the Congress had always protected minorities and would continue to do so in future. Leaders of Opposition K Jana Reddy (Assembly) and Shabbir Ali (Council) and other senior Congress leaders were also present.
