TRS to demand more reservations for STs and Muslims in ongoing Parliament session

TRS would raise a host of issues, including its demand for increasing reservations for STs and Muslims, in the ongoing winter session of Parliament. Pending issues, including releasing funds for the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMs) in Telangana, a division of high court between the state and Andhra Pradesh, would be pursued by the TRS MPs with the Centre, party MP A P Jitender Reddy told reporters.

He was speaking after a meeting of TRS MPs with party president and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao here.

The BJP government at the Centre had not responded to the demand for increasing quotas to Muslims and STs, he claimed. The previous assembly had passed a resolution last year seeking hike in reservations.
