Reservation quota hike for Lingayats and Vokkaligas a political gimmick: HDK

March 28, 2023

Mysore/Mysuru: Asserting that the reservation quota hike for Lingayats and Vokkaligas announced by the State Government recently is only a political gimmick ahead of the forthcoming Assembly polls, former CM H.D. Kumaraswamy (HDK) maintained that the hike would not serve any purpose for both the communities.

Addressing a press meet at the Office of K.R. Nagar MLA S.R. Mahesh here yesterday, Kumaraswamy charged the ruling BJP Government of trying to make political gains out of reservation hike when polls are round the corner. Lambasting the BJP Government, he said that, according to a report, malnutrition and poverty still persists in Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai’s Shiggaon Constituency in Haveri district and nine other districts, which show the failure of the State Government.

Referring to PM Narendra Modi’s remark that the Congress was out to finish him off, Kumaraswamy said that Modi was only lowering the dignity of the PM’s Office by making such callous  remarks instead of guiding the State on addressing burning issues.

    Quotas, caste-based recruitment , caste-based entries to medical colleges, caste-based jobs offer, all meamn more Indian students leave India and by paying the people smugglers seek asylum in the UK. More Indians want to escape India./
    OIn the end, Mysore will have only Gowda and Lingayat doctors-the dim wits.
    More patients will go to Singapore to get treatment once the Mysore Airport gets expanded, and Singapore Airlines start one-stop flights to Mysore.

  2. Indian says:

    This quota hike is for entire Karnataka state. Do all these politicians and their families willing to get treated in the government hospitals?
