Harish Rao hits out Revanth Reddy over food poisoning cases

Former Minister and senior BRS leader T Harish Rao came down heavily on Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy for prioritising installation of statues over welfare of students in government schools and Gurukul residential institutions. He was referring to recurring incidents of food poisoning in educational institutions, with no concrete action by the State government.

He lambasted the State government over the hospitalisation of 15 students from a tribal girls



hostel at Tandur in Vikarabad district in a fresh incident of food poisoning on Tuesday, just 10 days after a similar incident in the erstwhile Mahabubnagar district.

“Is installing statues and appeasing your Delhi bosses a priority over the future of students?” he asked, holding the Chief Minister responsible for failure to address the growing crisis. He demanded immediate action to prevent further harm to students, rather than making empty promises.
