Union Home Minister Amit Shah has promised to end the 4% Muslim reservation in Telangana if BJP is voted into power. Addressing the rally at Chevella near Hyderabad, Amit Shah slammed religion-based reservations, calling them "unconstitutional". He said the party will do away with the 4 per cent Muslim quota if it comes to power in Telangana, offering the right to Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe and other backward communities. "This right is of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and OBC," Shah said. All India Majilis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi hit back at Shah saying the saffron party has no vision for the state “besides anti-Muslim hate speech”. “All they can offer is fake encounters, surgical strikes on Hyderabad, curfews, releasing criminals and bulldozers. Why do you hate people of Telangana so much?” the Lok Sabha member from Hyderabad asked. Sankalp Sabha in Chevella: Amit Shah Takes Swipe at Telangana CM, Says 'KCR Can't Keep People of Telangana Away From PM Modi' (Watch Video).
