Hyderabad: A headmistress of a government school in Telangana was suspended for allowing birthday celebrations of former chief minister and BRS supremo K Chandrashekar Rao, who turned 71 on Monday. These celebrations were conducted under the supervision of a former corporator, with the participation of school students at MPP school in Saroornagar.

The school's headmistress in charge, Rajitha, has been found responsible for allowing these activities within the school premises. The Education Department found her in violation of the TGCS (Conduct) Rules, 1964, and suspended her.

“It has come to the notice of the authorities that an MPP school in Nandanavanam Colony, Hastinapur, Saroonagar mandal was used for the birthday celebrations of a political leader. These celebrations were conducted under the supervision of a former corporator, with the participation of school students. The school's headmaster in charge, Smt. Rajitha SGT, has been found responsible for allowing these activities within the school premises, which is a clear violation of TGCS (Conduct) Rules, 1964, and the guidelines set by the Education Department,” said the memo issued by Ranga Reddy district DEO, Suseendra Rao on Tuesday.

Government schools are strictly prohibited from being used for political purposes, and students should not be involved in such events. Permitting political leaders and their associates to hold celebrations inside an educational institution is deemed inappropriate and against the ethical standards expected by the school authorities, said the DEO.

“In view of the above violation, the competent authority, i.e., the undersigned, has decided to place Smt. Rajitha, headmaster in charge, under suspension with immediate effect as per CCA rules. During the suspension period, she shall not leave the headquarters without prior permission and will be entitled only to a subsistence allowance as per rules,” said the suspension order.

BRS leaders and workers had celebrated KCR's birthday with gaiety across Telangana on Monday.
