BJP Calls Assembly March Over Fee Reimbursement Dues
The BJP wants the government to pay overdue fee reimbursement money.
Party leaders say the unpaid amount is Rs 15,000 crore.
They planned a march to the Assembly in Hyderabad.
The march was linked to a protest called “Fee Bakayi-BJP Ladai.”
Police did not give permission for the protest at Dharna Chowk.
BJP leaders criticized the police and the government’s decision.
They also said police tried to keep N Ramachander Rao at home.
Rao instead went to Delhi for a meeting called by BJP national leaders.
Party leaders said students, young people and workers would join the protest.
BJP state president N Ramachander Rao called for a “Chalo Assembly” programme to demand immediate release of pending fee reimbursement dues.
The party said Rs 15,000 crore remains unpaid and planned a march involving students, youth and party workers.
Police denied permission for the BJP’s planned “Fee Bakayi-BJP Ladai” protest at Dharna Chowk.
