The BJP on Monday condemned the Karnataka government's proposal for a 4 per cent Muslim reservation in government tenders, calling it "unconstitutional and an act of vote-bank politics".

- STATESMAN NEWS SERVICE

The BJP vowed to challenge this move in courts, Parliament, and public protests, asserting it threatens national unity.

Earlier on Friday, the Karnataka state cabinet approved an amendment to the Karnataka Transparency in Public Procurement (KTPP) Act, which aims to provide 4 per cent reservation in tenders to Minority contractors, official sources said. The decision was taken on March 14 in a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah at the Cabinet Hall of the Vidhan Sabha.
