What about Muslim reservations in Telangana?

Hyderabad, Nov 05: The TRS government in Telangana has let down Muslims on its promise of 12 per cent reservation in government jobs and educational institutions, state Congress president N Uttam Kumar Reddy alleged Saturday.

"He (TRS president and caretaker Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao) dragged the issue for four years and now he has stopped talking about it. Have you ever found any truth in KCR s talk?

KCR s promise on 12 per cent Muslim quota (for backward sections among Muslims) was nothing but a tactic to cheat the community. TRS never raised the issue at a higher level even once," he said, addressing a meeting of leaders of the Jamiatul Ulema-e-Hind, a party release said.

Mr Reddy alleged that there was a clandestine understanding between TRS and BJP, with the former supporting the saffron party s candidates in the elections for the offices of the President and Vice President.

Congress has proposed an alliance with TDP, CPI and Telangana Jana Samiti (TJS) forthe December 7 assembly elections in Telangana.
