The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has taken strong exception to Union Minister Amit Shah’s statement at a public meeting held in Chevella on Sunday that Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) would scrap reservation to Muslims in education, employment and welfare schemes, if the party is voted to power in the next elections.
Reacting to the Union Minister’s statement, in-charge of party programmes in Hyderabad district, Dasoju Sravan, sought to know on Monday whether the country’s Home Minister is above the Constitution. “It is a cheap and untenable political tactic adopted Mr. Shah when the issue of 4% reservation to Backward Class Muslims in Telangana is pending in the Supreme Court,” he remarked.
How a senior politician holding a responsible position could have the audacity to make such a callous statement just to mislead people and how can he over-rule a matter that is sub judice, Mr. Sravan asked and questioned whether there is separate constitution for BJP.
