BRS Leader Raises Concerns Over TGSWREIS Leadership Instability and Procurement Practices

Hyderabad: A senior opposition leader has levelled serious charges against the Telangana administration, claiming systemic weakening of governance structures at TGSWREIS through a pattern of frequent reshuffles, questionable staffing decisions, and procurement methods that concentrate power in the Chief Minister's Office.

BRS MLC Dasoju Sravan specifically objected to the elevation of Joint Secretary K. Sharada to the position of Secretary in full additional charge, citing Government Order No. 107. He contended this move violated established administrative conventions, noting that the secretarial post had historically been held by IAS-cadre officers.

The legislator characterized the leadership situation as a revolving-door arrangement that intensified following December 2023. He pointed to successive changes in the top post since the Congress administration took office under Chief Minister Revanth Reddy. Sravan noted that Alugu Varshini held the position for approximately a year before being succeeded by Krishna Aditya, who was then replaced by Vijayendra Boyi without the latter having formally entered office.

Tender Procedures and Institutional Autonomy

Sravan linked the organizational instability to governance concerns, alleging that institutional decision-making authority eroded following the bunker bed procurement controversy. He contended that the administration subsequently implemented a centralized procurement framework operating under direct Chief Minister's Office supervision.

The BRS member claimed that procurement powers were stripped from the society itself, with major student supply contracts now managed through central channels. He further asserted that the government sought administrators willing to approve proposals without rigorous examination, describing a preference for officials who would provide "rubber stamp" clearances for what he characterized as managed contracts favouring particular vendors.

Sravan called for intervention by the State Vigilance Commission and the Anti-Corruption Bureau, characterizing the alleged misappropriation of student welfare funds as a criminal matter. He warned that individuals involved in the procurement process would face legal action.
