CM Focusing More On Statues Than Students: BRS

Former BRS minister Harish Rao today alleged that the State government was not paying any attention to the problems being faced by the students of the Gurukul schools but had huge focus on the installation of statues.

The minister tweeted, "Revanth Reddy is a careless Chief Minister who doesn't care about the State or even government schools and gurukuls in his own district."

He asked what the State government was doing when students were routinely being admitted to hospitals due to repeated food poisoning incidents in the government schools and gurukuls in the old Mahabubnagar district.

"15 students were hospitalized due to food poisoning in the Tandoor tribal girls' hostel of Vikarabad district. If the situation is like this in the CM's own district, it can be imagined how worse it is elsewhere in the State," he said.

"It is unfortunate that the government is not waking up from its slumber even though there is a series of cases of food poisoning. CM Revanth Reddy's words that if adulterated food is given to the students the officials responsible for such incidents will be sent to jail have become just bubbles on water," he added.
