Hyderabad, April 25 -- Union home minster Amit Shah said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will end the 4% job reservations for Muslims in Telangana if his party comes to power again at the Centre after winning the ongoing Lok Sabha elections. Shah added that the reservation will be given to Backward Classes (BC), Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (S) communities instead.
