Asks the Chief Minister to issue ordinance to provide 12 per cent job quota to Muslims, STs
Hyderabad: Welcoming the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) government’s move to fill 15,000 vacancies, Leader of Opposition in Legislative Council Mohammed Ali Shabbir demanded that the State government immediately issue an ordinance to provide 12 per cent quota each for Muslims and Scheduled Tribes (STs) in those jobs.
Speaking to the media at Gandhi Bhavan here on Monday, Shabbir Ali reminded that Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, during the election campaign, had promised to provide over one lakh jobs. He reduced the figure to 50,000 after he came to power.
A year later, he assured to fill 25,000 vacancies and finally, he signed files pertaining to only 15,000 jobs. He said the Chief Minister should honour his promise of giving 12 per cent quota for Muslims and STs in jobs.
“This opportunity will not come again. Once the vacancies are filled, Muslims and STs will be permanently deprived of opportunities to get government jobs. Therefore, the TRS government must issue an ordinance giving reservation to Muslims and STs in accordance with job notifications,” he demanded.
He also accused Chandrashekar Rao of completely neglecting the welfare of weaker sections. Shabbir Ali said the TRS government also ignored welfare of farming community. He lamented that the Chief Minister did not care to hold a high-level review meeting despite farmers losing almost 90 per cent of crops due to poor monsoon.
