Students must work hard till the age of 25 for success: Telangana CM
Hyderabad, May 28 (UNI) Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Wedneday urged students to dedicate themselves to hard work and education until the age of 25 to secure a successful and fulfilling life.
He emphasised that good jobs and a better future can only be achieved through consistent effort and education.
Speaking at the Gurukula Awards function held at Babu Jagjivan Ram Bhavan in Hyderabad on Wednesday, the Chief Minister paid tribute to Telangana stalwart Suravaram Pratap Reddy, noting that Telugu University has been named in his honour to recognise his contributions.
Similarly, a prominent women's university has been named after freedom fighter "Veeranari" Chakali Ilamma, highlighting the state's commitment to celebrating those who have fought for the people.
Revanth Reddy underlined that true legacy is built by serving society, not by one's caste identity. "The Congress is carrying forward the ideals of former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Dr B R Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian Constitution," he said.
He called on Dalits, Tribals, and other weaker sections to abandon feelings of inferiority and embrace self-confidence.
The Chief Minister announced the establishment of Young India Integrated Residential Schools, aimed at empowering underprivileged students to compete at global standards. 'Education is the only way to achieve recognition and upliftment in society,' he added.
Lashing out at the previous BRS government, the CM criticised their focus on schemes like goat, sheep, and fish distribution, while neglecting educational empowerment.
He questioned, 'Why didn't the BRS take steps to make the weaker sections stakeholders in governance through education? Isn't it true that they played with the lives of unemployed youth by not releasing job notifications for a decade?'
Highlighting the achievements of his administration, Revanth Reddy said the current government has filled 59,000 government jobs within a year, and successfully conducted Group 1 exams and announced results. He accused the opposition of deliberately obstructing appointment orders by filing court cases, turning the issue into a social problem.
The CM condemned the opposition for prioritising their own family members for posts soon after their electoral defeat, while simultaneously blocking job opportunities for the youth. He urged the younger generation to question BRS leaders when they visit and to expose their alleged conspiracies.
'Focus is essential,' the CM warned students. 'Getting distracted can lead to problems for your families. Don't let such situations arise. Be confident, excel, and make not just your parents, but also your state proud.'
Revanth Reddy also highlighted his government's inclusive approach, noting the appointment of the first Dalit Vice Chancellor in Osmania University's 100-year history, Aakunuri Murali as the Chairman of the Education Commission, and Gaddam Prasad Kumar as the Assembly Speaker. "These appointments are based on merit and education, not caste," he stated.
The CM said, 'The future of our country lies in the classrooms. I sincerely wish all students success in every field.' UNI VV SSP

Bandi Sanjay Kumar wants government to put up a strong legal team against ex-SIB chief in phone tapping case
Union Minister of State for Home Bandi Sanjay Kumar demanded that the government put up a strong legal battle against former SIB chief T. Prabhakar Rao and also the masterminds behind him must be held guilty. Speaking to the media at Choppadandi in Karimnagar, he said the surrender of the former police official and appearing for an inquiry appeared to be a well-crafted plan following 'counselling' by former chief minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao's family in the United States. The public has the right to know under whose instructions the phone tapping was done and what was done with that data? Who received the recordings? Who were blackmailed using those audio files? he asked. The former SIB chief has been responsible for the downfall of many activists, including himself. 'It's not about tapping just Chief Minister Revanth Reddy's phone, he tapped the phones of Congress, BJP, BRS leaders and judges, including mine,' charged Mr. Sanjay Kumar. Many lives were destroyed, and numerous families were ruined due to the illegal phone tapping. Even private conversations between husbands and wives were snooped upon, he pointed out. He also accused the Congress government of being 'weak' with not a single corruption case under the BRS government being taken to a logical conclusion. The statement given by Mr. Prabhakar Rao during the inquiry must be made public, added the Karimnagar MP. Praja Durbar In a separate press conference in Hyderabad, Rajya Sabha MP and national OBC Morcha president K. Laxman has questioned why Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has discontinued his 'praja durbar' after just one such programme. Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy single minded objective is to protect his chair as ruling party's internal wrangling has been consuming him even as he leads a 'corrupt' administration, he alleged. Telangana honour is being mortgaged to win favours from Rahul Gandhi. Is he ambassador to Mr. Gandhi or servant to the people of State? he questioned. Mr. Laxman said the government does not have funds to pay for fee reimbursement and other schemes, and charged that funds are being diverted to the high command in Delhi. He said his party still wants the government to hand over the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project to the CBI if it is serious about taking action against those guilty.
