Hyderabad, Aug. 3 -- Union minister G Kishan Reddy on Saturday, August 2, lashed out at the Congress party, accusing it of "hypocrisy and playing politics" over the 42 percent reservation promise for Backwards Classes (BCs).

Speaking at a "Mahadharna" organised by the BJP OBC Morcha at Indira Park in Hyderabad, protesting the Congress's Kamareddy BC Declaration, Kishan Reddy stated it was "shameful" for the Congress to blame the central government for its inability to implement its promise, calling the reservations a mere political drama rather than a genuine benefit for BCs.

Kishan Reddy claimed that the Congress's approach to reservations was driven by religious appeasement and political expediency.
