OU students should ensure TRS defeat: Congress

TPCC chief N Uttam Kumar Reddy on Friday came down heavily on caretaker Chief Minister K Chandrasekhara Rao for neglecting Osmania University during his more than a four-year rule. Reddy made these comments after inducting several student leaders and students from OU into Congress at Gandhi Bhavan in Hyderabad. 

Speaking to the gathering, Reddy said that the university’s students had played a major role in the Telangana movement but the TRS government had failed to give it due importance. He appealed to the students to help put an end to TRS rule in the State. “KCR was responsible for OU losing out on the chance to hold the Indian Science Congress,” he alleged. Reddy also said the TRS chief had obstructed Rahul Gandhi’s visit to the university. 

“Students’ sacrifices helped KCR come to power. But after assuming power he has completely neglected students and youth. KCR did not even give appointments to OU leaders who wanted to meet him. KCR is the number one cheater in Telangana,” he said. The TPCC chief then went on to say that the TRS government had failed to fill up vacant posts in OU. “He has not released money for fee reimbursement but has the gall to build a palatial bungalow for himself using hundreds of crores,” he said.
