hief Minister Basavaraj Bommai declared that he would not rest till the oppressed classes were rendered justice.
He told reporters here on Sunday that several people had advised him not to disturb the hornet’s nest but still he went ahead with internal reservation as he wanted the oppressed classes to get the honey.
Commitment
He said the demand for a hike in the reservation had been pending for the last 30 years but the Congress Party did not do anything but make false promises.
They had thought it would not be possible for the BJP to do it.We showed our commitment by getting a report, got the study done, constituted a Cabinet sub-committee, and took a bold decision as per law”.
Frustrated lot
Bommai said the Congress leaders are frustrated as the BJP did what they could not do and talked rubbish that has no value.
The Congress party has always hoodwinked SC/ST and that has been their track record.
They are under the wrong impression that they would get those votes by showing sympathy but are not aware of the fact that there is an elected government to decide it.
The incumbent government has taken a decision only after the discussion regarding any demand from any association or organization for social or other developments.
A list of works done by the present BJP government will be released soon.The government is there to take historic decisions.
Replying to a question about snatching away 4 percent reservation for the minority Muslims and distributing the same among the other two communities,the CM said they are eligible for a 4 percent quota on economic grounds but now they are given 10 percent instead of four percent.
Then how it would become an injustice for the Muslim community? The government has taken a wise decision by keeping the welfare of Muslims in mind.
He said the list of achievements would be released at the right time.
Mahadayi scheme
Bommai clarified that the tender process for the Mahadayi project would go on despite the poll conduct coming into being.The work would start soon after getting approval from the Forest Department.
List of candidates
On the release of the list of candidates for the coming Assembly polls,the CM said the BJP would always release the list of candidates only after the announcement of the dates of polling.The same would be followed this time also.The list would be released at the right time.
