The Story in Brief
Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy unveiled statues of social reformers Jyotirao Phule and Savitribai Phule at Hyderabad’s Necklace Road on Friday, ahead of Independence Day, Siasat.com reports. Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka said the government would put the couple’s principles into practice and support marginalised communities.
Bhatti said Telangana’s socio-economic and political survey found that 56 per cent of the population belonged to weaker sections. He said Backward Class reservations in local bodies would use this data. The government had increased Jyotirao Phule Overseas Scholarships from 300 to 700, he said. It is also building 100 integrated residential schools, with Rs 200 crore allocated for each building, according to his remarks.
The Indian Opinion
Public ceremonies can honour reformers, but claims about surveys, reservations and welfare spending need documents, not applause. The government’s figures on the 56 per cent population share, 700 scholarships and 100 schools should be published clearly, along with timelines and completion reports. The useful test is simple: how many buildings are ready, and how many students receive the promised support?
