Hyderabad: Telangana’s prestigious Welfare Gurukul Educational Institutions, which were once a model for the entire nation, are on the verge of closure due to non-payment of building rents, Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president KT Rama Rao said on Wednesday.
He launched a scathing attack on Chief Minister Revanth Reddy for what he called the incompetence of his government.KTR said in a statement that locking up Gurukul schools that changed the lives of lakhs of poor students is a dark chapter in Telangana’s governance.
The BRS leader accused the Chief Minister, who also holds the Education portfolio, of gross negligence, stating that rent arrears have been pending for nearly a year. He alleged that Revanth Reddy’s inaction was part of a larger conspiracy to dismantle the visionary welfare model built by former CM K. Chandrasekhar Rao and to erase the legacy of KCR’s governance. “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 shows a collapse of financial and administrative discipline.
