Hyderabad: Former minister T Harish Rao demanded chief minister A Revanth Reddy to resign, alleging that the Congress govt has failed to implement its six guarantees and address the concerns of students and unemployed youth.Speaking at a protest by youth at Ambedkar Chowrastha in Siddipet, Harish Rao demanded the immediate release of pending fee reimbursement, stating that students, particularly from SC, ST and BC communities, are being forced to struggle to continue their education.He also demanded the immediate cancellation of GO 97, alleging that bringing polytechnic education under the Skills University system would burden students and affect their future.Questioning the govt’s employment record, Harish Rao said the promised two lakh jobs have not been delivered and described the job calendar as a ‘jobless calendar’. He further alleged that several development and educational projects in Siddipet, including the veterinary college, Shilparamam and Ranganaik Sagar tourism works, have been stalled or shifted.Harish Rao conducted a surprise inspection of the Gambhirpur electricity sub-station in Dubbak mandal on Saturday after farmers complained to MLA Kotha Prabhakar Reddy and Harish Rao that inadequate power supply was causing their paddy fields to dry up.After inspecting the sub-station logbook, Harish Rao criticised the Congress govt over the power cuts and accused CM Revanth Reddy of making empty claims about power supply.“According to the logbook, on the 3rd, power was supplied from 8am and switched off at 6pm. On the 4th, power came at 7:45am and was switched off at 6pm. This means farmers are not even getting 10 hours of power. These are not my allegations, this is what the sub-station’s own logbook records,” he said.Referring to Congress leaders, he added, “Those who once went to sub-stations and demanded to see the logbooks should now visit them and answer farmers. I am ready to meet them anywhere, including Nalgonda”.He also questioned CM Revanth Reddy’s claim that he works 18 hours a day. “If the CM is really working 18 hours a day, why are farmers getting electricity for barely 10 hours? He must answer the farmers of Telangana,” Harish Rao said.
