Rao said this while reacting to Union Home Minister Amit Shah's "promise" that the BJP government would end Muslim reservations in the state after coming into power in Telangana.
Telangana Minister and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLA KT Rama Rao has said the 4 per cent Muslim reservation in the state is not on the basis of religion but on the basis of socio-economic status in the community.
Rao said this while reacting to Union Home Minister Amit Shah's "promise" that the BJP government would end Muslim reservations in the state after coming into power in Telangana.
"4% Muslim reservation is not on the basis of religion. That is on the basis of socio-economic status. Amit Shah should think before speaking. Secondly, we know what the BJP does and what it is attempting to do. It is trying to polarise...But they will fail this time," Mr Rao told ANI while reacting to Shah's statement on Friday.
