Sule has stated that the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) backed reservation for Muslims and for Lingayats, emphasising that this is not a new sentiment.
The prime minister said while Congress is silent its jailed ally, who is out on bail, confirmed the INDIA bloc's intentions.
"These people want to snatch away all the reservation that SC, ST and OBC community have and give complete reservation to Muslims," Modi said.
Shah was in Telangana to address a public rally at Siddipet for the party candidate for Medak Lok Sabha constituency, M Raghunandan Rao.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday slammed Congress over its promise to restore quota for Muslims in Karnataka and talking of an increase in quota to six per cent and said that the party should make it clear if it will slash the benefits of SCs, STs, Lingayats or Vokkaligas.
“When the BJP forms the government, we will put an end to this unconstitutional Muslim reservation. It is the right of SC, ST and OBCs of Telangana and we will ensure they get their rights,” announced the Union home Minister.
