Hyderabad: TPCC president N. Uttam Kumar Reddy on Monday alleged that Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao had betrayed students and jobless youth who had sacrificed their lives and careers for the sake of statehood.
Addressing the ‘Dhoom Dham’ of the unemployed youth at Tagore Auditorium, Osmania University, on Monday, Mr Uttam Kumar Reddy said Telangana state had become a reality solely due to the sacrifices made by the students and youth.
Mr Rao had left the students and youth where they were before the state was created. He was distributing benefits among betrayers of Telangana and Andhra contractors, he said.
Mr Uttam Kumar Reddy said as against the promise of providing a job for every household, the TRS government had failed to provide a job even for a village. He said the KCR government had failed to fill the vacancies in various departments which existed in undivided AP.
He said there was no dearth of funds for the TRS government to pay to Andhra contractors, but it was claiming that it did not have the money to reimburse fees and pay scholarships for students. He said Mr Rao had deliberately starved universities and other institutions of the required funds. He mentioned how the government's negligence had led to the closure of professional colleges.
“My wife (N. Padma-vathi) and I are MLAs. We don’t have any children. We have dedicated our lives for the service of the people. You are like our children and we cannot see you suffer. The KCR government has ruined the education sector. We will do everything possible to ensure that students get their due share.”
