CLP leader in Telangana Legislative Council D Srinivas on Sunday ridiculed the promise made by Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao of giving 12% reservation to Muslims and Scheduled Tribes in the State.
Addressing the TPCC's State Minorities Convention here, Srinivas said that KCR was trapped in his promise.
He said that the Congress Government had given 4% reservation to Muslims with great difficulty and suffering many legal complications. Unfortunately for KCR, Narendra Modi was the Prime Minister of the country now. Therefore, forget facilitating a 12% reservation, the BJP Government would try to stop even the current 4% reservation, he said.
Warning that the Congress would launch a serious agitation if the ongoing reservation was sabotaged, he said that 12% reservation for Muslims and STs was not possible. (INN)
