The Congress's attempt to justify its Muslim quota policy with a minority cover has faced sharp criticism. Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, in a statement he later denied, claimed that the Congress would amend the Constitution to allocate a 4% quota for Muslim contractors in the state. This remark has fueled allegations against the Congress, accusing it of pursuing the very agenda it once criticized the BJP for.
Is Congress considering a constitutional amendment to legitimize religion-based reservations? Was DK Shivakumar's statement a slip-up, or did it reveal the true intentions of the Rahul Gandhi-led Congress, which has previously faced accusations of introducing Muslim reservations through indirect means? Are Karnataka and Telangana serving as testing grounds for a broader Congress plan to push for nationwide religion-based quotas?
