In an attempt to divide the polity on communal lines and garner the support of Muslim community for the creation of a separate state of Telangana, TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao promised reservation to minorities in education and employment on the lines of Tamil Nadu.

Addressing Telangana Garjana organised by Jamaat-e-Islami Hind at Nizam College grounds, KCR promised proportional reservation to the community in education and jobs. After the formation of Telangana, a law will be enacted to provide 12 per cent reservation to the community under special provisions in the Constitution, KCR said.
Promising the moon, KCR assured that justice would be done in the new state of Telangana. Injustice has been meted out to the community in higher education and employment , he said and assured proportional representation to minorities in assembly and local bodies as well.

Seeking to dispel the notion that large section of the community were against dividing the state, he claimed that Sundays meeting attended by over 10,000 would send a message to the Centre they were in favour of Telangana.

TDP leader N Janardhan Reddy said the five-member Srikrishna Committee constituted by Centre to look into the statehood issue should have a time-frame . He claimed that TDP was the first political party in the state which recognised Urdu as second language and implemented many welfare schemes for minorities .
Welcoming Jamaats initiative , JAC convener M Kodandaram said the Centre should announce the terms of reference for the Srikrishna Committee.

Congress MP Madhu Yashki called on leaders to set aside their differences for Telangana . He took strong exception to the statement made by Congress leader legislative council deputy chief Mohd Jani that the community wanted a united AP.
