Addressing students and young people during her first outreach to the university since launching TRS, Kavitha described Osmania University as the heartbeat of the Telangana movement and praised its revolutionary legacy.
She criticised the former BRS and current Congress governments over higher education, stating that Chief Minister Revanth Reddy had announced ₹1,000 crore for the university six months ago, but no funds had been released.
Kavitha also highlighted that 74% of assistant professor posts in universities were vacant. During a Ganesh Chaturthi visit to Law College, she found eight students sharing one room without basic drinking-water facilities.
She urged students to unite and pressure the government to release the promised funds, suggesting that their protests could turn the university into a Telangana-style Jantar Mantar.
Calling for systemic electoral reforms, Kavitha opposed demands for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
The lack of funds and vacant faculty positions in Telangana's higher education institutions significantly impact students' futures. Kavitha's message underscores that only through united student action can these issues be resolved.
