The demand for Muslim reservations will not be met because it is forbidden to make reservations for religious reasons.

This is not the first time the Siddaramaiah-led government has attempted to introduce reservations for Muslims. However, last time the proposal faced strong opposition and was shelved. This time, Congress has managed to bring the bill to the assembly.

While the Karnataka government is now rejecting the reports of it considering a proposal for Muslim reservations in public works contracts, the documents suggest that not only the demand for Muslim reservations were made but a proposal regarding the same was also under the government’s consideration.

During the interview, PM Modi described the Calcutta High Court’s recent decision on OBC reservations as an eye-opener for the country.

Muslim quota and similar promises have been part of TRS' core regional identity. Now, reports suggest BRS leaders want to turn their focus back on regional objectives.
