Telangana BJP leader N Ramachander Rao says the state’s education system is in bad shape.

He says Telangana spends less of its budget on education than the national average he mentioned.

Rao blames Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy because he also oversees education.

He says retired teachers are waiting for pensions and serving teachers face delayed pay and promotions.

He also says schools and universities have many empty teaching posts.

Private colleges, he says, are struggling because the government has not paid fee reimbursement money.

Rao wants the government to explain how many industries and jobs came from its investment efforts.

He says a BJP government would spend more on education and fill vacant posts.
