The Congress party in Telangana may be down, but it is not completely out. It is trying every opportunity to embarrass Telangana Rashtra Samithi president and Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao though it might not help the party much politically.
The Greater Hyderabad Congress Committee on Friday undertook a massive campaign near major mosques in the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad seeking implementation of promise of 12 per cent Muslim Reservation in Telangana State.
The Congress workers distributed specially designed Ramzan calendars which had an appeal for support for 12% Muslim Reservation campaign outside major mosques.
"We have distributed nearly one lakh Ramzan calendars, including pocket-sized, and appealed to the Muslim community to pray for achievement of 12 per cent Muslim quota in Telangana State. The Chief Minister had promised to give 12 per cent quota for Muslims in jobs and education within four months after coming to power. Three academic years have been lost and State Government has so far recruited about 5,000 people. But the government does not look keen in hastening up the process to give Muslim reservation,” GHCC leader Sohail said.
