Conspiracy against Gurukuls to destroy KCR’s legacy: KTR

BRS Working President KTR lashed out at the Congress government stating that Gurukuls which flourished during KCR’s rule have now collapsed after a year of Congress rule.
He accused Chief Minister Revanth Reddy of deliberately dismantling the Gurukuls, which were established with the noble objective of helping underprivileged children. KTR said the Congress is targeting these institutions out of its narrow-minded objective to erase KCR’s legacy.
Highlighting the stark contrast, KTR pointed out that during the BRS government, 1.68 lakh applications were received for 41,000 seats in SC, ST, BC, and minority Gurukuls. However, under the Congress government, only 80,000 applications have been submitted for 51,000 seats. This means over 80,000 parents have lost confidence in the system and are unwilling to apply for their children’s admission.
KTR said that while there was once fierce competition for Gurukul admissions, today parents are reluctant to send their children there. He attributed this shift to the tragic deaths of over 50 students due to hunger, snake bites, suicides and food poisoning in Gurukuls during Congress rule.
“Parents now fear for their children’s lives more than their education,” KTR said, expressing deep concern over the declining trust in Gurukuls due to government negligence.
He also slammed the Congress leadership for failing to even console the families of the dead students. Instead, ministers and MLAs ignored their tragic deaths, and the government tried to threaten BRS leaders who wanted to visit the grieving families.
