He said the Congress-NCP government did not make any effort to provide reservations during their 10-year tenure. But it had mooted the proposal just two months prior to the 2014 elections. He said only 2 per cent of Muslims are in government jobs and 4 per cent in police departments out of 1.5 crore Muslims in Maharashtra. For the 2,000 medical seats in the state, only 3 Muslims were offered seats.
