MUMBAI: Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole on Sunday rejected Union Residence Minister Amit Shah’s assertion that the principal opposition social gathering has agreed to the Ulema Council’s demand for 10 per cent quota for Muslims in jobs and training. Talking at a rally in Malkapur in Buldhana within the afternoon, Shah, the BJP’s most important strategist, stated Patole had agreed to the Ulema Council’s demand for Muslim reservations.
“Patole has agreed to finish reservations for SCs. STs and OBCs and provides it to Muslims as demanded by the Ulema Council,” Shah stated. The demand for 10 per cent quota for the Muslim group would eat into the advantages of Dalits, tribals and Different Backward Courses, since there’s a 50 per cent cap on quota and any improve will come at the price of present ones, he informed the gathering.
The Maha Vikas Aghadi leaders’ lust for energy has blinded them to long-term penalties of their actions on marginalised communities, Shah asserted. Talking to reporters in Mumbai, Patole rejected Shah’s declare on Congress accepting the Muslim quota demand. “We (MVA) are combating the election on core points and won’t be drawn into the Hindu-Muslim pretend narrative,” Patole stated.
Talking in Mumbai earlier within the day, Shah had stated “our Structure doesn’t present reservations primarily based on faith” however the Congress was promising such quotas earlier than coming to energy. Maharashtra polls might be held on November 20, whereas votes might be counted on November 23.
