Telangana: BJP promises 4 free cylinders, quashing 4% quota for Muslims, Rs 3100 per quintal for paddy
BJP has promised in its manifesto for Telangana elections that it will quash the 4% reservation to Muslims and instead increase the quota for OBCs, SCs and STs in the state. Releasing the manifesto, titled Saubhagya Patra, Home Minister Amit Shah assured that a committee headed by a retired Supreme Court judge will investigate all corruption cases by the K Chandrasekhar Rao government and bring the guilty to book.
The party has also promised to implement the Uniform Civil Code in the state within six months of coming to power.
The saffron party has also promised four free LPG cylinders per year to the poor families, buying paddy at Rs 3100 per quintal and also procure the par-boiled rice which the BRS government has been reluctant to buy. Other big promises include Rs 2 Lakh to every girl child from a poor family after she attains the age of 21, providing 2.5 Lakh government jobs in five years and reducing the Value Added Tax on petrol and diesel in Telangana.
Shah accused the KCR-led BRS government of practising appeasement politics and also taking decisions on the advice of tantriks.
“The reservation based on religion is unconstitutional.
We will do away with the 4% reservation meant for Muslims and instead increase the reservation quota for the backward classes, Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe,” Shah said at the manifesto release in Hyderabad. Slamming BRS on the issue of communal politics, the union minister referred to the BRS poll symbol car and said the steering wheel of this vehicle is in the hands of the Majlis.
