K. Kavitha, the President of Telangana Jagruti, has strongly criticized the Congress government for its recent decision to cancel student uniform orders, which she claims threatens the livelihoods of handloom workers in Telangana. She described the unilateral cancellation as a cruel act intended to benefit select private individuals at the expense of local artisans. Kavitha highlighted that the uniform orders, valued at approximately ₹105 crore (roughly $12.6 million USD), are crucial for the employment of thousands of workers across 393 handloom cooperative societies in the state. Furthermore, she raised concerns about additional orders worth around ₹200 crore (roughly $24 million USD) for blankets and garments that have not been issued to the Telangana State Handloom Weavers Cooperative Society (TESCO). Kavitha accused the government of deliberately withholding these orders, which exacerbates the crisis faced by handloom workers. She demanded an immediate reversal of the cancellation and threatened large-scale protests if the government fails to act. In a related event, Telangana Jagruti leaders paid tribute to Sardar Sarvai Papanna Goud, emphasizing his legacy of resistance against social oppression and calling for unity under Kavitha's leadership.
