Jagan Mohan Reddy Says 4% Muslim Reservation "Will Remain" In Andhra Pradesh

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's remarks came amid the ongoing debate between BJP and the Opposition leaders about the reservation and minority quota.

Amid the ongoing debate between BJP and the Opposition leaders about the reservation and minority quota, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said 4 per cent of Muslim reservations "will remain" and that is YSR Congress Party's "final word" on it.

Addressing a public gathering in Kurnool, he said, "On one hand, Chandrababu Naidu continues to join hands with the BJP which stands on removing the 4 per cent Muslim reservation, on the other hand, to seek minority votes, he comes up with new drama. Have you witnessed a chameleon-like Chandrababu Naidu? Come what may, 4 per cent of Muslim reservations will remain and that is YSR Congress Party's final word on it. My only question to Chandrababu Naidu is why does he continue the alliance with the NDA even after the NDA government pledges to cancel the 4 per cent reservation?"

Commenting on the ongoing Lok Sabha election battle, Mr Reddy said, "In the next 4 days, the battle of Kurukshetra is set to take place. This election is not to elect MLAs and MPs, this election will decide the future of ongoing schemes and the development of every household. If you vote for Chandrababu Naidu, you are stopping all the welfare that this government has brought to the doorstep of the household."
