Siddipet: Former Minister T Harish Rao said that the Congress government has completely neglected the education system in the government sector.

He recalled how the BRS government led by K Chandrashekhar Rao had strengthened the education system in the government sector during its ten-year rule. Rao said that Siddipet district stood among the top two positions for eight consecutive years in Class X results in the State, as he had put in a lot of effort.

Rao called upon students to focus on their studies by staying away from social media. Earlier, he also addressed a training session organised for journalists by the Press Academy. The former minister participated in multiple programmes across the Siddipet constituency on Friday.
