“End To Muslim Quotas!” Amit Shah Attacks KCR-Led Government, Calls It ‘Unconstitutional’

Ahead of the upcoming polls in Karnataka, Union Minister Amit Shah has vowed a state re-run in Telangana by removing the reservation for Muslims if BJP came to office. He termed such quotas in the BRS-led state “unconstitutional.”

End to Muslim quotas!

Addressing a rally amid K Chandrasekhar Rao’s (KCR)-led government’s moves to augment Muslim quotas from 4% to 12%, the union minister said, “We will put an end to Muslim reservations in educational institutions. Quotas are the constitutional right of Dalits, tribals and backward castes and we will ensure they benefit.”

Last month, the BJP-led government decided to do away with the 4% OBC quota for Muslims and distributed it equally between two dominant communities, Veerashaiva-Lingayats and Vokkaligas. The move came ahead of the May 10 elections.

‘Shaky and flawed’

The Supreme Court (SC) called the decision prima facie “shaky and flawed,” while hearing petitions against the scrapping over a week ago.

During the addressing a rally at Chevella, 46km off Hyderabad, he also ridiculed BRS’s expansion plans, saying the PM’s post was not vacant and Narendra Modi will “easily” retain power in 2024.

Moreover, the union minister, Amit Shah has warned KCR that BJP won’t stop till BRS is dismissed and his “pink party’s metamorphosis from TRS to BRS was a mere tactic to divert attention from neck-deep corruption.”

‘KCR’s dreams of becoming PM’

Further, he said, “KCR dreams of becoming PM and touring India, but let him first look into his own turf, where rot runs deep.” The remark follows KCR’s serial rallies in Maharashtra as part of his plan to expand his national footprint.

The CM’s daughter, K Kavitha, was last month quizzed by the ED in Delhi’s liquor policy case. Shah appealed to the people to give BJP a full majority in the general elections next year. “There’s a trailer coming soon: Please vote BJP to power in the assembly elections in Telangana,” he said.
