TDP to continue the reservation for Muslims in Andhra Pradesh

Despite BJP’s strong opposition to Muslim reservation, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has said that they would continue the reservation of Muslims in Andhra Pradesh.

In an interview TDP leader and Chandrababu Naidu’s son Nara Lokesh said that Muslim reservation in Andhra Pradesh had been going on for over two decades and the party stands by it.

“It



(reservation for Muslims) has been going around for the last 2 decades and we stand by it. We intend to continue it,” he said.

The TDP has won 16 Lok Sabha seats in recently concluded Lok Sabha election and played a key role in NDA winning the elections.

Lokesh said that the party’s focus will be creating jobs and uplifting the marginalised people in Andhra Pradesh.
