Hyderabad: Senior BRS leader T Harish Rao alleged that frequent food poisoning incidents in residential schools have turned chief minister Revanth Reddy‘s ‘Vision 2047′ into ‘Poison 2047’ for students.Harish Rao, accompanied by MLAs Kaleru Venkatesh and Mutha Gopal, visited the King Koti Govt Hospital on Saturday and met with students of the Bagh Lingampally minority residential school who were hospitalised after consuming contaminated food. He also inquired with doctors about the medical treatment being provided to the students.Addressing the media, Harish Rao said that students from gurukuls or govt schools are being admitted to hospitals almost every day due to food poisoning. “The situation is so dire that recently, students from Shameerpet BC gurukul had to go to a police station to file a complaint against the Revanth Reddy govt after they were served rice with insects. On Friday, 43 children from Chandu Naik thanda in Madhapur were hospitalised. Now, 90 students from the Bagh Lingampally minority gurukul are suffering. This is a complete failure of the administration,” he said.Revanth Reddy boasts about ‘Vision 2047′, but for these students, it has turned into ‘Poison 2047′, Harish alleged. “If you have any honesty left, ensure these children get a stomach-full of quality food. The students in the hospital are now terrified to go back to their hostels,” he alleged.Alleging a lack of empathy on the part of the CM, Harish said that Revanth Reddy had not visited a single hospitalised student so far. “He is busy playing football. He built a stadium for himself with Rs 5 crore. He is ready to spend another Rs 100 crore to bring Lionel Messi to play football. Yet, he cannot provide a decent meal to students. The CM has time for 61 trips to Delhi but none to console these victims,” he added.
