Adilabad: Deputy Chief Minister Mohd. Mahmood Ali said on Sunday that the state government will approach the Supreme Court, if needed, to give 12 reservations to Muslim minorities as promised by Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao. Addressing a public meeting here, Mr Mahmood Ali said that the Chief Minister was giving much priority to education among Muslim minorities for which 204 minority residential schools have been established across the state.
He claimed that earlier, successive governments and other parties had used the Muslim minorities as a vote bank and had not initiated any serious action for their development. He said the Congress gave Telangana state because it had no other option. It was the Telangana agitation which forced the Congress to consider their demand.
Earlier, the Deputy CM laid the foundation stone for the Jamait-e-Ulema office building in Bokkalaguda and also a Haj House at Dargah on the Adilabad outskirts. Minister Jogu Ramanna, Boath MLA Rathod Bapurao, Dairy Development Corporation chairman Lokbhuma Reddy and civic head Manisha and others were present. Minority Welfare Corporation chairman Akbaruddin and GHMC Deputy Mayor Faisuddin were present.
