Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced that the BJP will end reservation for Muslims in Telangana and redirect the benefits to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes. Shah criticized the reservations for Muslims implemented by the Congress and BRS, emphasizing the BJP’s plan to prioritize SCs, STs, and OBCs
Allegations Against Congress and BRS:
Amit Shah accused the Congress of turning Telangana into an “ATM of Delhi” and failing to address corruption issues in the state. He highlighted the BJP-led government’s efforts to address pending problems, including the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya and the revocation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir. Shah criticized the Congress for not investigating alleged scams by the previous Telangana Rashtra Samithi government, now known as Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS)
BJP’s Commitment to Telangana Liberation Day:
Shah mentioned that the BJP-led government has decided to celebrate September 17 as Telangana Liberation Day, contrasting the alleged reluctance of Congress and TRS to commemorate this day. He expressed confidence in the people of Telangana choosing BJP candidates in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. The announcement coincides with the upcoming polling for 17 parliamentary constituencies in Telangana on May 13, where TRS, BJP, Congress, and AIMIM are key contenders based on the 2019 general election results
Conclusion:
Amit Shah’s statements reflect the BJP’s stance on reservations, corruption, and governance in Telangana. The decision to end reservations for Muslims and focus on SCs, STs, and OBCs underscores the party’s priorities. The upcoming Lok Sabha polls in Telangana will be crucial, with parties vying for electoral success in a state marked by diverse political dynamics and historical outcomes.
