NDA is kind to Muslims! Pension for Muslims, Idgah and graveyard in every big city, 5 lakh interest free loan, salary of Imams is 10 thousand…

During the Lok Sabha election campaign, BJP leaders made many statements including ending reservation for Muslims, which created uproar in the country. Even Congress and other opposition parties accused BJP of doing politics in the name of religion. When the election results came, BJP was reduced to just 240 seats. Now it is going to form the government at the center with NDA allies. TDP is the most prominent party in this, which has 16 MPs. JDU has 12 MPs. TDP has also achieved great success in Andhra Pradesh assembly elections. BJP will also be in the government along with TDP in the state. In such a situation, now the TDP manifesto is in discussion.

Actually, during the assembly elections, TDP had made many types of announcements. This included special announcements regarding Muslims. The main points of TDP’s manifesto include pension to Muslims above 50 years of age, land for Idgah and graveyard in every big city, loan of Rs 5 lakh interest-free to Muslims, salary of Rs 10,000 for Imams, Rs 5,000 per month for maintenance of every mosque and one-time assistance of Rs 1 lakh. Apart from this, Chandrababu Naidu promised 4 percent reservation to Muslims in every meeting. Even his son, TDP General Secretary Nara Lokesh, said a day earlier that his party is committed to giving 4 percent reservation to Muslims under OBC quota in the state.

The manifesto of TDP, which is preparing to form the government in Andhra Pradesh and plays an important role in the Center, has become the reason for the opposition parties to attack the NDA. During the election campaign, leaders and supporters of opposition parties are constantly questioning whether the NDA will be kind to Muslims now, including the announcements of ending reservation for Muslims and other matters. At the same time, TDP leaders have clearly said that they had already included these announcements in their manifesto.
