"Unconstitutional Misadventure": BJP To Challenge Karnataka's 4% Minority Quota | Read

Karnataka Reservation Row | The BJP on Monday termed as “unconstitutional misadventure” the Karnataka government's proposal to provide 4 per cent reservation to the Muslims in government contracts and said it will fight against the move across all levels and even challenge it in the court until it is rolled back. Earlier on Friday, the Cabinet approved an amendment to the Karnataka Transparency in Public Procurements (KTPP) Act, reserving 4 per cent of contracts in (civil) works valued up to Rs 2 crore and goods/services contracts up to Rs 1 crore for the Muslims. “The BJP firmly opposes the proposed unconstitutional move and demands that Siddaramaiah government immediately roll back the proposed unconstitutional misadventure,” BJP MP Tajasvi Surya, who represents Bangalore South Lok Sabha seat, told a press conference at the party headquarters.
