Hyderabad: BRS Legislature Party deputy leader T Harish Rao criticised the Congress government over student protests in Gurukul schools and at Osmania University, pointing to alleged neglect in ensuring basic facilities including qualifty food to students.
He demanded that the government immediately intervene to ensure quality food in Gurukul schools and resolve the issues raised by students at Osmania University.
Referring to protests by students of a ST residential welfare School in Narayankhed mandal of Sangareddy district, Harish Rao said students were forced to take to the streets demanding adulteration-free food. He also cited ongoing protests by students at Osmania University, who complained about poor quality meals. “Such incidents are occurring across the State, but the Chief Minister, who also holds the Education portfolio, has neither reviewed the situation nor responded,” he remarked
The BRSLP deputy leader termed it shameful that Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy makes frequent trips on helicopter, has no time to address the conditions in Gurukul schools. He said that except for taking credits for the intiatives of the previous BRS regime, the Chief Minister made no visible development in the last two-and-a-half years.
He questioned the government’s priorities, accusing it of focusing on publicity-driven initiatives like ‘Young India Schools’ while failing to ensure basic amenities such as hygienic food in existing residential institutions. He also criticised Revanth Reddy’s engagement with the Centre, stating that repeated visits to Delhi had not yielded tangible benefits for education in Telangana.
