BJP chief accuses Revanth Reddy of failing Telangana education
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.
Telangana BJP chief N Ramachander Rao criticized the state’s education system under Congress rule.
Rao said Telangana allocates nine per cent of its budget to education, below the 14.5 per cent national average he cited.
He blamed Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, who holds the education portfolio, for problems facing teachers, students and institutions.
Rao cited delayed salaries, unpaid pensions, vacancies and fee reimbursement arrears across the education sector.
He promised that a future BJP government would increase funding, fill vacancies and protect polytechnic education and certificates.
