Taking exception to Congress and the JD(S) events’ assurance to reintroduce reservation for Muslims, Union Home Minister Amit Shah wished to know whose share can be reduce to revive the reservation for Muslims.
Addressing the general public throughout a roadshow at Alur, a part of Sakleshpur meeting section, in Hassan district on Monday, Mr.Shah mentioned the BJP had elevated the quantum of quota for Lingayats, Vokkaligas, Scheduled Castes, and Scheduled Tribes by cancelling the 4% reservation meant for Muslims. “Now the JD(S) and the Congress want to restore the same. I want to know whose share they will cut. Will they bring down the reservation allocated to Vokkaligas, Lingayats, Scheduled Castes, or Scheduled Tribes?”, he requested.
He appealed to the general public to not vote for both the JD(S) or the Congress. “Would you like to vote for Congress? If you vote for the JD (S), it will go to Congress. Last time after the elections in 2018, the JD(S) went with the Congress to form the government”, he mentioned. Mr.Shah requested the individuals to assist the BJP and, with that, strengthen the arms of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Hundreds of individuals took half in the roadshow. BJP candidates Cement Manjunath of Sakleshpur, Preetham Gowda of Hassan, H.Okay. Suresh of Belur, and Mysuru Lok Sabha member Pratap Simha accompanied the Home Minister on the roadshow.
