In an embarrassment to Congress<\/a> Government in Telangana<\/a>, the State Council for Educational Research and Training (SCERT) used the previous year\u2019s foreword in the Telugu textbooks this year with the names of former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) and former Bharat Rashtra Samithi <\/a>(BRS) ministers. <\/p>\n The foreword thanked \u2018Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao\u2019 and Education Ministers in the previous BRS government; G Jagadish Reddy, Kadiyam Srihari and Sabitha Indra Reddy apart from the officials heading the Education Department in the BRS government.<\/p>\n It had the names of Rajiv Ranjan Acharya, Chiranjeevulu and Jagadeeshwar, all of whom headed the department as Principal Secretary and Commissioners of School Education respectively. In fact, all these officers also retired. <\/p>\n The foreword thanked KCR for his guidance and advice, as well as the ministers and officials. The foreword was copied from the previous print and used for this year\u2019s new books. The SCERT did not even change the date December 5, 2022 and copied it for the books printed in 2024. <\/p>\nDates too were not changed in the copied foreword<\/h4>\n
Teachers were asked to tear off the page during books distribution<\/h4>\n
