KTR raises concerns over cancellation of school uniform orders

BRS Working President K. Taraka Rama Rao criticized the state government over the cancellation of school uniform stitching orders. He questioned whether the administration was functioning as a public government or a private limited entity.

In a post on X on April 2, KTR alleged that decisions were being taken in a way that weakens government-linked institutions while favoring private companies.

Allegations over shifting contracts to private firms

KTR stated that orders assigned to TESO for stitching school uniforms were withdrawn and handed over to private companies. He alleged that this move impacted workers associated with handloom and cooperative sectors.

He questioned the rationale behind cancelling a Rs 105 crore school uniform stitching order. He also raised concerns over the delay in allocating an additional Rs 200 crore order related to clothes and blankets from the welfare department to TESO.

Criticism of government’s procurement decisions

The BRS leader alleged that the government was prioritizing private entities for financial gains. He accused the ruling administration of sidelining traditional workers and cooperative sectors.

KTR further stated that such decisions would have wider implications on livelihoods, particularly for workers dependent on institutional orders.

Political remarks and warning to government

He criticized the Congress-led government, alleging that its actions were detrimental to workers. KTR warned that public dissatisfaction over such decisions could reflect in future political outcomes.

The remarks come amid ongoing debates around procurement policies and allocation of government contracts in the state.

Tribute to Sarvai Papanna

Separately, KTR paid tribute to social reformer Sardar Sarvai Papanna on his death anniversary. He described Papanna as a leader who fought for the self-respect of Bahujan communities and oppressed sections.

The tribute was also shared through a post on X, acknowledging Papanna’s contribution to social justice and community empowerment.
