BJP Condemns Karnataka's Proposal for Muslim Reservation

The BJP has declared Karnataka's proposal for a 4% Muslim reservation in government contracts as unconstitutional and plans to contest it in court. The amendment to the KTPP Act has led to accusations of a political move by Congress. BJP vows to oppose it at all levels.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday criticized the Karnataka government's proposal to reserve 4 percent of government contracts for Muslims, labeling it an 'unconstitutional misadventure'.

The amendment to the Karnataka Transparency in Public Procurements (KTPP) Act has sparked controversy, with BJP alleging that the move aims to appease Muslim voters under Congress leadership.

Prominent BJP leader Tejasvi Surya has called the initiative a threat to national integrity and vowed to challenge the proposal both legally and through public and parliamentary protests.
