Sources from Chennai have made a statement that DMK Working President M K Stalin had praised Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao for his government's decision to increase the reservation for oppressed sections of society. M K Stalin said in a statement that "DMK welcomes the decision of Thiru Chandrasekhara Rao to embrace the principles of social justice in his decision making and his efforts to uphold the state's rights to determine the reservation policies".
Meanwhile Stalin also said his party extended support to the likely protest by Rao at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi to uphold social justice policies and rights of states. Moreover he also appealed to the Centre for proper implementation of the 27% reservation policy in Central government jobs.
Sources have added that early this month, Rao said
his government would raise its proposal to hike reservations to backward sections
among Muslims in Parliament and could also approach the Supreme Court on the
matter.
