BJP is against religion-based reservation, says Shahnawaz Hussain

Shahnawaz Hussain Bharatiya Janata Party NDA Andhra Pradesh YSRCP

Former Union minister Shahnawaz Hussain said that the BJP was against religion-based reservation and that Muslims would have their share in the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) quota.

Addressing the media here on Saturday, Mr. Hussain said that the TDP-BJP-JSP alliance would achieve a comfortable victory in the State while the NDA would win 400-plus seats at the Centre. He further alleged that the INDIA bloc was a “liability for the country”. 

He alleged that liquor and sand mafia were rampant in the State and corruption has been the hallmark of the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP). If A.P. were to become a developed State (Viksit Andhra Pradesh), a ‘double engine’ government was essential.
