Hyderabad (Telangana): BRS Working President KT Rama Rao has launched a scathing attack on Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, condemning the Congress government for allowing Telangana’s prestigious Welfare Gurukul Educational Institutions to reach the verge of closure due to non-payment of building rents. Once considered a model for the entire nation, these institutions are now facing an uncertain future.
In an official release, KTR described the situation as “a disgraceful and heartless act.” He stated that locking up Gurukul schools, which have changed the lives of lakhs of poor students, marks a dark chapter in Telangana’s governance.
KTR accused the Chief Minister, who also holds the Education portfolio, of gross negligence. He highlighted that rent arrears have been pending for nearly a year. According to KTR, Revanth Reddy’s inaction is part of a larger conspiracy aimed at dismantling the visionary welfare model established by former CM K Chandrashekhar Rao and erasing the legacy of KCR’s governance.
### BRS Working President KT Rama Rao’s Statement
“While the CM sits on crores of rupees, the buildings that house poor students’ dreams are being locked. This reflects not just inefficiency but deliberate cruelty,” KTR said. He warned that the government’s failure to clear even basic dues demonstrates a collapse of financial and administrative discipline.
KTR also criticised the Congress government for simultaneously withholding fee reimbursement dues, pushing thousands of students into uncertainty. “Revanth Reddy is not just bankrupting the treasury; he’s bankrupting the future of our youth,” he asserted.
He reminded that Telangana’s Gurukul system, which provides world-class, residential education to BC, SC, ST, minority, and economically weaker upper-caste students, was a revolutionary step toward equality and empowerment.
“If the Congress government dares to destroy this inclusive system, BRS will not stay silent,” KTR warned sternly. He demanded that the government immediately release all pending rent dues to safeguard students’ education and dignity.
“If the Congress continues this anti-student attitude and allows Gurukul schools to be locked, we will mobilise a statewide agitation with students and parents to teach this arrogant government a lesson,” KTR declared.
Accusing Revanth Reddy of pushing Telangana into a Rs 2.5 lakh crore debt within two years while failing to pay even basic rents, KTR demanded complete transparency on the usage and diversion of public funds.
“The people of Telangana will soon hold him accountable for this betrayal,” he concluded.
