Citing the poll promises made by the Congress, Rao asked the State government to provide free power supply besides appointing sanitation staff at all schools. He urged Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy to issue a GO in this regard immediately. Rao asked the government to continue the “Mana Ooru Mana Badi” programme, which was launched by the previous BRS government to provide a facelift to schools. The former Minister also appealed to parents to admit their wards to government schools because they were equipped with all facilities. Government schools had facilities like digital teaching, computer lab, English medium, library, science lab, and many other facilities on par with corporate schools. He also urged them to ensure that the students went to school regularly to help them focus on their studies. Siddipet was at the top in 10th class results for the last five years, he added.
