Hyderabad, July 15 -- Telangana BJP state president N Ramchander Rao clarified that the party is not against reservations for Backwards Classes (BCs) but strongly opposes the allocation of quotas based on religion.

Speaking at a meeting with party workers in Nalgonda district during his first visit after assuming office, Rao emphasised that reserving a portion of the proposed 42 percent BC quota for Muslims would be unjust to BCs and reiterated that the BJP would resist any move to introduce religion-based reservations.

Rao stated that the Supreme Court has already ruled against granting reservations on religious grounds and urged the government to adhere to this position.
