HYDERABAD: A row erupted over the Rs 10,000 sanctioned to each of the minority residential schools in Telangana to celebrate the birthday of Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, with some terming it as a waste of public money.

On Thursday, the TMREIS posted a circular saying that each school has been sanctioned Rs 10,000 to arrange the celebrations, including lunch.

Soon enough, social media saw a flurry of posts, with users opining that Rao alone was not responsible for the formation of Telangana, there were countless others who struggled and sacrificed for the separate State.
