Remove 4% quota for Muslims in TS: BJP

The BJP has demanded Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy to remove the 4% quota for Muslims in Telangana and ensure Backward Classes (BCs) are not denied their due share.

“Who has done injustice to BCs by adding Muslims in their quota list? Hasn’t the High Court already declared it unconstitutional? How can a party, which had imposed Emergency, talk about upholding the Constitution,” questioned State BJP president and Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy on Friday.

At a press conference at the BJP office in Hyderabad, he charged that BCs have been ‘cheated’ by adding Muslim communities into their group and thus, have been denied their due share in political sphere, education and jobs by the Congress Governments.
