Why it matters
This reflects ongoing political tensions regarding the management of public education and student welfare infrastructure in Andhra Pradesh.
The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leader and former MP Talari Rangaiah on Monday accused HRD Minister Nara Lokesh of failing to ensure basic amenities and safety for students in government schools and SC, ST and BC welfare hostels across Andhra Pradesh.
Speaking at the YSRCP Central Office, Mr. Rangaiah alleged that students were being forced to live without adequate drinking water, sanitation, toilets and quality food. He questioned the government’s priorities, saying basic facilities should be ensured before making claims about investments and development.
Mr. Rangaiah cited the death of SC student Teja Harshavardhan after a school wall collapsed at Setturu, allegedly when he had gone outside because of inadequate toilet facilities.
