Cong neglects Telangana Gurukuls, undermining KCR’s vision: KTR

Hyderabad, Feb 16 (UNI) BRS Working President K T Rama Rao (KTR) has strongly criticised the Congress government, accusing it of neglecting Telangana’s Gurukul institutions, which thrived under former Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR).
Through Twitter (X), he alleged that within just a year of Congress rule, these institutions have fallen into disarray, putting the future of thousands of marginalized students at risk.
KTR accused Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy of deliberately dismantling the Gurukul system, which was established to provide quality education to Dalit, Tribal, Backward Class, and Minority children. He claimed that the Congress government’s failure to maintain these institutions reflects its attempt to erase KCR’s legacy.
