During a Maharashtra assembly election rally, Shah highlighted a recent meeting where Ulemas requested reservations for Muslims during discussions with Congress leadership.
Shah asserted that the BJP will not alter the current quota system, dismissing any chance of Article 370's restoration, and criticized his opposition as supporters of Aurangzeb rather than followers of Shivaji Maharaj's principles.
