Telangana Rashtra Samithi president and Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao appears to be clearly lacking priorities in his administration.

This was evident from the way KCR is focusing more on silly schemes like emptying of Hussainsagar lake, shifting of Chest Hospital from Erragadda and relocation of Secretariat etc., rather than filling up vacancies in government departments and appointment of vice-chancellors to severl universities.

“The Chief Minister was unable to decide his priorities. Instead of hastening up appointment of Vice-chancellors and other staff in all universities, the Chief Minister is devoting more time to discuss issues like draining out Hussain Sagar Lake. While KCR is willing to spend Rs 150 crore on the new Secretariat building, he is not concerned about releasing funds for the universities,” Telangana Congress vice-president Mohd Shabbir Ali.

Shabbir Ali said seven out of nine State universities have no Vice-Chancellor for the past several months. Further, the varsities are facing shortage of both teaching and non-teaching staff. They lack adequate funds to continue with the normal functioning.

Stating that every government gives priority to key sectors like Agriculture, Health and Education, the Congress leader alleged that KCR has completely derailed those sectors in Telangana State. Non-implementation of Rs 1 lakh loan waiver promise, erratic power supply and non-payment of adequate MSP drove over 700 farmers to suicide.

Similarly, large number of deaths due to Swine flu has exposed the deteriorating condition of health sector in the State. By neglecting education sector, KCR is now trying to play with the lives and careers of students, he alleged.
