Will Force Centre To Approve ST, Muslim Quota: KCR

Criticizing the Centre for letting the STs and Muslims of Telangana down by denying them 12% reservations in jobs and education, TRS chief and caretaker Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao today asserted that he had won every battle that he had started, and that he would fight another war in Parliament to secure those reservations too in Telangana if the TRS was given the mandate in the upcoming Telangana Assembly elections.

Addressing public meetings at Nizamabad, Armur and other places on Monday, KCR also expressed confidence that the TRS would win 16 MP seats in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, and that that would help the party dictate terms to the Centre regarding reservations for STs and minorities.

He also said that another term would also help his party further strengthen the welfare net that it had created for citizens of the state over the past four-and-a-half years, and appealed to the people to vote for the car symbol to ensure that.

KCR expressed happiness at the turnout of about 70,000 people to the public meetings. This proved that the TRS would win more than 100 seats out of the 119 in the December 7 elections, he said.
