After Union Home Minister Amit Shah described religion-based quotas as unconstitutional and communal, there is a rising allegation that the BJP is up for divisive politics. On Monday, TRS leader KT Rama Rao stated that BJP should desist from engineering "divisiveness based on religion".
Netizens, especially BJP supporters, are arguing that the BJP is right in saying that religion-based quotas have no constitutional basis. It's held by Right-wingers that communal quotas will eventually lead to the break-up of the country.
BJP is expected to scrap the quota for Muslims in Telangana should it manage to unseat KCR in the coming elections. The saffron party has the advantage of wooing Hindus on the plank of doing away with the Muslim quota. Amit Shah and Narendra Modi have, more than a few times, stated that the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes have a rightful claim to quotas but not non-Hindus, as the Constitution didn't provide for quotas to non-Hindus.
