Harish Rao Meets Students, Slams CM Revanth
Harish Rao recalled that a similar incident occurred in the Shamirpet BC Gurukul school forcing students to go to the police and lodge a complaint that they were being fed food laced with insects.
Hyderabad: Senior BRS leader and former minister T. Harish Rao on Saturday slammed Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy for “being absorbed in self-promotion and publicity and utterly neglecting school students despite being the education minister.”
Speaking with reporters after visiting the King Koti Government Hospital where students from the Gurukul residential school of minorities in Bagh Lingampally were admitted on Friday after suffering food poisoning, Harish Rao said: “90 children were affected in this instance. Such cases are being reported regularly from across the state. Revanth, who is completely focused on Rahul Gandhi and playing football, has no time for students.”
He recalled that a similar incident occurred in the Shamirpet BC Gurukul school forcing students to go to the police and lodge a complaint that they were being fed food laced with insects. There was also another case in Chandunaik thanda in Madapur where 43 children were admitted to hospital after suffering food poisoning, Harish Rao said.
“Revanth Reddy keeps talking about Vision 2027. His rule is not a ‘vision’ but has turned into a poison for innocent children.”
“The Chief Minister is spending crores of rupees to play football with Messi. But he cannot given clean healthy food to school children. I met and spoke with the children and many of them are scared to go back to their school. And despite repeated cases of such seriousness, Revanth Reddy does not even bother to visit a hospital, or check on what is happening,” the BRS leader said.
Rahul Gandhi, Harish Rao said, should instead of fawning over Messi and football, should come to the hospital to visit the children. “What is the purpose of the government spending Rs.100 crore of a football game for a few minutes when school children are falling victim to poisonous food,” Harish Rao asked.
