Don’t protest, govt will address your issues, CM Revanth Reddy tells teachers

Kodangal/ Hyderabad: Urging teachers to stop protests, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy assured them that he would take the responsibility of resolving every pending issue.

Addressing the Teachers’ Day celebrations in Kodangal, he appealed to teachers not to take to streets for redressal of their issues.

Addressing a Teachers’ Day celebration at a government junior college in Kodangal, the Chief Minister called upon the teaching community to work collectively to strengthen the education system in line with the State government’s objectives.

Revanth Reddy said teachers played a crucial role in shaping the future of students and appreciated their dedication and commitment. He urged them to work with a resolve to make Telangana a role model for the country in providing quality education within the next two years.

The CM cautioned them against falling into the trap of opposition parties. “Give me two years. I will resolve your issues based on financial feasibility. It is not a good sign for the state if teachers take to the streets. If your issues are not resolved in 2 years, teachers will have freedom to give marks in the election exam”.

The CM slammed the previous BRS government for ruining the state economy with Rs 8.50 lakh crore mounting debt burden on the state exchequer. The last government raised the retirement age to 60 without paying retirement benefits. When the retired employees were facing a lot of trouble, the BRS leaders were sleeping in their farm houses. The people’s government has already paid Rs 6,000 crore towards retirement benefits in just 2 years. CM Revanth Reddy urged the teachers not to change their opinion about the government which has been working for their welfare. We implemented the PRC immediately upon coming to power and now demanding another PRC. “We are addressing the teachers’ grievances by establishing an Education Commission and also working towards formulating an education policy.”

The Chief Minister criticised the KCR government for devastating the education system during the ten year rule. “Let us steer the devastated education system towards progress and the responsibility lies in teachers’ hands. We want to Impart education to students from nursery to Class 12, and then teach them skills”.

The Chief Minister also warned that the opposition parties were spreading false propaganda on polytechnic colleges and trying to blackmail the government. “We are ready to resolve the issues as the government’s doors are always open. Let us all rededicate ourselves to strengthening public education”
