New Delhi: The Maharashtra BJP on Tuesday charged the Congress-NCP government with playing the “communal” card ahead of state Assembly polls. While the party opposed plans to grant reservation for Muslims in government jobs and education, it said reservation for Marathas should not affect the existing reservation for OBCs directly or indirectly.
The Prithviraj Chavan government has decided to play the reservation card in a bid to check damage to the ruling combine, which won merely six of the total 48 Lok Sabha seats in Maharashtra.
Leader of the Opposition in the Maharashtra Legislative Council Vinod Tawde said, “We do not support reservation on the lines of religion and the Constitution also does not permit this.”
