Referring to Intermediate exam fiasco, she said: “Rao has time to visit Kerala and other places. But he doesn’t have time to console families of the students who committed suicide due to the Intermediate exam results goof-up. More than 20 students have died, but the Chief Minister did not visit their houses. He has not even announced exgratia for the families of the students.”
