BRS calls deaths of 36 students in residential schools ‘govt murders’

Voicing grave concern over the deteriorating conditions in residential schools in the State, BRS MLAs K Sanjay and Padi Kaushik Reddy said on Saturday that the image of educational institutions was no longer the same in the State.

Addressing a news conference at Telangana Bhavan, they said that 36 students died in government hostels and residential schools while 500 students were hospitalised and treated for food poisoning during the last seven months of



the Congress rule.

Calling the student deaths as murders by the government, Sanjay said six students were affected by food poisoning in his own constituency and two of them had died. One of the students succumbed in Peddapur village on Friday. The state of affairs in the residential welfare schools called for special attention. People had started losing faith in the residential institutions which were developed and nurtured so well during the BRS regime.
