The housing is empty and we cannot allocate it to others. So he requested 10-15 percent. Pointing to cities like Mandya, he said that the entire towers built under housing schemes are still vacant.
The Karnataka Cabinet has accepted the proposal to increase reservation for the Muslim community under its housing schemes. This step will be applicable to all housing schemes implemented by urban and rural development departments across the state. Housing Minister Zamir Ahmed Khan supported the proposal, which proposes to increase reservation for minority communities from 10 percent to 15 percent. DK Shivkumar defended the move and said that of course, we have to walk according to the population. The urban population is very large and includes many minorities and poor people. There are many minorities present in urban areas.
The housing is empty and we cannot allocate it to others. So he requested 10-15 percent. Pointing to cities like Mandya, he said that the entire towers built under housing schemes are still vacant. Try Mandya, on the left, there are 7-9 towers where no one has gone to live. At least minorities are ready to capture those buildings. Many houses are also lying vacant in Bengaluru. Whom do we give them? This is a big problem. We have built houses, but no one is going to live in them. He said, he also said that minorities have been requesting this growth for a long time. He proposed this in the last 7 years and we agreed.
Supporting this decision, Minister MC Sudhakar said that the Center already provides 15 percent allocation for minorities and Karnataka is also working accordingly. He said that this is the allocation of houses for minorities. The central government has 15 percent and we have increased it to 15 percent. This step has been taken after the government’s proposal to increase quota profit for Muslims in contract allocation, which suggests a comprehensive effort to increase community-specific welfare initiatives.
