Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president N. Uttam Kumar Reddy said that students and unemployed youth of Telangana would ‘dethrone’ the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) government in next elections.
He was addressing a gathering of students in Tandur town of Vikarabad district after flagging off padayatra by the National Students Union of India (NSUI) from Tandur to Shamshabad on the slogan “My Hostel My Right” on Tuesday to highlight the poor State of SC, ST, BC and minorities hostels across the State.
Mr. Uttam Kumar Reddy said: “Students and jobless youth had very high expectations from Chief Minister after the formation of Telangana State as he had made many attractive promises to them during the decade-long statehood movement. However, both students and unemployed youth faced disappointment due to failure of the TRS government in fulfilling any of the promises made to them.”

Quality education
NSUI National president Feiroz Khan, TS president B. Venkat and other leaders addressed the gathering. The TPCC chief reminded that KCR had promised: “Free, Compulsory, English Medium and Global Standard education from all Telangana students from KG to PG.” He said in KCR’s own words “poorest children and his own grandchildren should get same level of education in Telangana State.”
However, he said of nearly 60 lakh students from KG to PG levels, not even 1% of students in the State benefited from the so-called KG to PG scheme. He said despite creating a hype, the TRS government was unable to provide free education to even 60,000 students in Gurukuls and other residential institutions. “What happened to your promise of KG to PG free education?” he asked the Chief Minister.
