The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has alleged that the continuous neglect of welfare departments’ residential educational schools by the Congress government has resulted in the death/suicides of 110 students since December 2023.
Addressing a press conference here on Saturday, Huzurabad MLA Padi Kaushik Reddy and general secretary of the party R.S. Praveen Kumar, claimed that Srivarshitha, a student of residential school at Vangara, allegedly committed suicide, unable to bear the harassment of the school principal and vice principal earlier this week.
Though Vangara, the native village of former Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao falls in Husnabad constituency, now represented by Minister for Transport Ponnam Prabhakar, the latter had not even react to the incident. Srivarshitha, a native of Huzurabad constituency, had spoken to her parents at 6.30 a.m. on the fateful day and ended life at 7.30 a.m. It was so inhuman that the body of the student was sent to her native place in a tractor, they said.
Demanding that the school principal and vice principal be suspended immediately, the BRS leaders sought an ex gratia of ₹1 crore to the family of the deceased student.
