BJP Member of Parliament K Laxman has taken aim at the Telangana government for its decision to include 90% of Muslims in the Other Backward Classes (OBC) category, alleging that this move is driven by vote bank politics. Laxman criticized the government for allegedly compromising the rights of OBC communities in favor of political gains. He also pointed out proposals from other political figures, such as Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar’s suggestion to amend the Constitution to provide 4% reservation for Muslims, and Congress leader Udit Raj’s advocacy for reservations in the judiciary to address biases. Laxman’s remarks come at a time when issues of caste-based reservations and affirmative action are under scrutiny in India. The criticism from the BJP MP sheds light on the ongoing debates surrounding OBC categorization and reservation policies in the country.
