Muslim quota will be removed if BJP is elected to power in Telangana, reiterates Amit Shah

Union Minister for Home Amit Shah, on Sunday, reiterated that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will remove reservations for Muslims and share it with SC/ST and BCs in Telangana after it comes to power here.

“When I said the same before, the video of my speech was doctored to show as if I spoke about removing quotas. As long Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP are there, there is no question of abolishing reservations for marginalised sections,” he asserted at a public meeting in Parade Grounds.

Mr. Shah said the PM had removed Article 370 and triple talaq, and not the existing quotas. He also accused the Congress of making Telangana an “ATM” and said the ‘RR’ tax being collected from businesspersons is being used for election spending.
