Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi s claim that the Congress had “transferred” the reservation quota from backward classes to Muslims is a “blatant lie”.
He also defended 4 per cent reservation for Muslims under the backward classes
His remarks came on a day when the National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC) said it would summon the Karnataka Chief Secretary over the “blanket reservation” given to the Muslim community in the state.
