With guv returning it for 2nd time, Karnataka mulls sending Muslim quota bill to President

Karnataka’s Congress government is contemplating sending the Karnataka Transparency in Public Procurement (Amendment) Bill, 2025, to the President after the governor rejected it twice. The bill proposes 4% reservation for Muslims in civil contracts up to Rs 1 crore, alongside quotas for other categories. The government is exploring options after constitutional experts advised against challenging the governor’s decision in court.
