Bharat Rashtra Samithi working President KT Rama Rao (KTR) on Monday targeted Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy over his stance on reservations.
KTR asserted that Reddy is “clueless” about the subject. He labelled the ongoing caste census in Telangana as a “cruel joke” on the state’s people, particularly targeting the backward classes.
“Telangana CM is clueless when it comes to reservation. The whole caste census that is happening in Telangana right now is a cruel joke on the people of Telangana, especially the backward classes,” said KTR.
He, further, added: “Since Reddy and his team are clueless, they need a constitutional amendment to actually be able to implement anything above 50 per cent.”
KTR also challenged the effectiveness of Congress’ governance in Telangana.
His remarks came in response to Reddy’s comments on Sunday in Solapur, where he was asked if the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government, if elected, would offer reservations to Muslims in Maharashtra.
Reddy responded, saying, “Four per cent reservation has already been implemented in Telangana, we did 5 per cent but since it led to a breach of the 50 per cent barrier, the apex court asked us to decrease it.”
