The Telangana employees alleged that the VC was encouraging Seemandhra employees and insulted Telangana staff saying they don’t know anything. They also alleged that the VC appointed an Andhra employee in a key position stating that no Telangana employee knew English.

Reacting to the allegations of the University T employees, Siva Reddy said he doesn’t belong to Rayalaseema.
