TRS promised 12% reservations to Muslims and STs in its 2014 Manifestos. However, that would increase the reservations beyond 50% which will not be allowed by the Indian Constitution. However, Tamil Nadu has more than 50% reservations by bringing a special act.

The bill after passed by Telangana Assembly has to be referred to the Central government to bring it under the Ninth Schedule of the Constitution by using powers under 31 (B) of the Constitution to protect the laws made by State Legislatures like in the case of Tamil Nadu. That means KCR will throw the ball of his most difficult promise in to Center’s court
