Chairman Pradesh Congress Media Committee and former minister Mr. Mohammad Ali Shabbir told that Congress committee general secretary Oscar Fernandez will participate in the election campaign of Congress candidate Sudhakar Babu on May 23 at Prathipadu Assembly Constituency (Guntur district). Mohammad Ali Shabbir who has been running election campaign for the Congress party candidate at Nellore, Ongole and Tirupati for the past 3 days, claimed that Muslim reservation is the achievement of Congress not Dr. Rajshekhar Reddy.
Rajshekhar Reddy was one among the Congress chief ministers of various states. The resolution for Muslim reservations was passed in 1994 at a Congress meeting held at Ellore. Vijay Bhasker Reddy was the then chief minister of the state. 3 months after that Congress suffered defeat. In 2004 Congress promised reservations to Muslims in the election manifesto released after it was sanctioned by Sonia Gandhi and same was implemented after Dr. Rajshekhar Reddy became the chief minister.
