Bharatiya Janata Party to move High Court if necessary

WARANGAL: Congress and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leaders are trying to woo Muslims in the name of reservations only for their political gains, said Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA G. Kishan Reddy.
Mr. Reddy has said both the Congress and the TDP are committing `historical blunders' by promising reservation for Muslims which will only divide the society on the basis of religion. "Muslims are recognised as BCs and it only will dilute reservations for BCs," he said.
The BJP has been striving to bring together all BCs and launch a fight against reservations for Muslims. The party will also move the High Court, if needed.
Provisions misused
Mr. Reddy pointed out at a press conference here on Friday that already Muslims were being given reservation in education and employment. However, certain elements within the Government and outside were misusing the provisions. The case of Shadan College vouches for the fact. "The BJP urges the Congress and TDP leaders not to resort to mean politics for their selfish goals. We also appeal to people to realise the true colours of political leaders in favour of reservation for Muslims," the BJP leader said.
SCs' categorisation
On the categorisation of SCs, Mr. Kishan Reddy said the Congress party, which was in the Opposition when the resolution was passed in favour of categorisation, lacked the commitment. "The Government was least bothered about making any arrangements for Ministers who visited New Delhi. The Ministers were supposed to meet the Central Ministers and the press on the issue. Sadly, they did not achieve anything as the State Government itself lacked sincerity," he pointed out.
Referring to the forthcoming municipal elections, the BJP leader said party would fight the election alone.
