Modi, through his letter, requested the candidates to make people aware of the INDI Alliance‘s agenda to give reservations to Muslims by snatching it from SC, ST and OBC and dangerous ideas such as inheritance tax.”
PM Modi, in an exclusive interview to the News channel said, “In the 90s, they decided to classify Muslims as OBCs in Karnataka. So they were rejecting and suppressing OBCs earlier, but for political gains, they labelled Muslims as OBCs. Congress was ousted from the Centre. This plan remained stalled till 2004. When Congress came back in 2004, it immediately decided to give OBC quota to Muslims in Andhra Pradesh. The matter got complicated in court. The Indian Parliament had decided to give 27 per cent reservation to OBC’s in line with the basic spirit of the Constitution. Now, they tried to loot this 27 per cent quota.

In 2006, a meeting of the National Development Council was held where there was huge uproar over the statement of the then Prime Minister Man Mohan Singh. They remained quiet for two years. In the Ghoshna Patra of 2009, they mentioned it again. In 2011, there was a Cabinet Note on this where they decided to give a share from the OBC quota to Muslims. They tried this in the UP elections too but to no avail. In 2012, the Andhra Pradesh High Court cancelled it. They went to the Supreme Court, even there they did not get any relief. The 2014 Manifesto also talked about reservation on the basis of religion.” (Maxim News)
