Karnataka Cabinet increases housing quota for Muslims

India

Karnataka's Cabinet has bumped up the housing reservation for Muslims from 10% to 15% in government schemes, hoping to fill empty homes in places like Mandya and Bengaluru.
The plan is to offer these houses to minority residents who actually want to live there.

Opposition leaders say it takes away from other groups

This change lines up with the Centre's own 15% minority quota policy. It's also part of the Congress government's "Housing for All" push, but not everyone is happy—opposition leaders say it takes away from other groups, sparking heated debate over religion-based reservations.
