Hyderabad sources have stated that Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao said his Government will wage a legal battle if the Centre refuses to ensure increased reservation for socially and economically backward among the Muslims and Scheduled Tribes. Meanwhile he told the Assembly that he was confident the Centre will accept the state's demand to include the state legislation in the 9th Schedule of the Indian Constitution to this effect but said the state will approach the Supreme Court if necessary.



KCR said the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) will also raise the issue in the winter session of Parliament. Earlier in April, the Assembly passed legislation, increasing the quota for the two categories to 12 and 10% respectively. Socially and economically backward among the Muslims under the Backward Classes (E) category currently enjoy 4% quota in educational institutions and government jobs while STs have 6% reservation.

As the hike in quota for Muslims and STs will take overall reservation in Telangana to 62%, the state is urging the Centre to include it in the 9th Schedule as was done in case of Tamilnadu, where the total reservation is 69%.
