BELAGAVI, 16 MARCH

Karnataka BJP President BY Vijayendra has vehemently opposed the Congress government's recent decision to introduce a 4 per cent reservation for Muslims in public contracts, labelling it "unconstitutional" and part of a "Sarkaari Zihad." He accused the government of prioritising minority appeasement over development.

Vijayendra argued that there is no constitutional basis for reservation based on religion, asserting that the move aims to sow division among communities.

In a post on social media platform 'X', Vijayendra claimed this decision represents a wider pattern of discrimination against Hindus and other communities. He likened the current administration to a "reincarnation" of historical figures known for their anti-Hindu policies, promising that the BJP will push for justice for all religions in Karnataka.
