BRS ridicules Congress govt for turning education system into musical chairs

BRS MLC Dasoju Sravan accused the Telangana Congress government of frequent transfers and centralisation in TGSWREIS alleging irregularities in officer appointments and procurement processes while demanding vigilance and ACB inquiry into misuse of welfare funds

Hyderabad: BRS MLC Dasoju Sravan accused the Congress government of playing musical chairs with frequent transfers of officers heading Telangana Social Welfare Residential Educational Institutions Society (TGSWREIS). He said the government was neglecting the State’s education administration through excessive centralisation.

In a statement, Sravan said for the first time since 1974, a non-IAS and non-Group-1 officer had been appointed as Secretary (FAC) of the TGSWREIS through a recent government order, bypassing established norms. He pointed out that six officers had been changed in the post since December 2023.

The BRS leader stated that the frequent reshuffling was a deliberate attempt to prevent senior IAS officers from discovering irregularities in the department. He alleged that the government was centralising procurement processes, bringing large tenders under direct control of the Chief Minister’s Office and raising curtains for irregularities.

Citing earlier allegations of irregularities in procurement, Sravan demanded immediate intervention by vigilance authorities and the Anti-Corruption Bureau. He warned that those involved in misuse of public funds meant for students’ welfare will be held accountable.
