BJP Alleges Telangana Congress Government Neglects Student Fee Reimbursements
A Bharatiya Janata Party leader said many students in Telangana are being hurt because colleges have not received fee reimbursement money.
She said the unpaid amount is about Rs 15,000 crore.
According to her, some colleges are keeping students’ certificates until the money is paid.
Without their certificates, students may have trouble finding jobs.
She made these comments at a protest in Hanamkonda.
She blamed the Congress government for not clearing the payments.
Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has referred to arrears left by earlier governments.
The Bharatiya Janata Party said it may hold stronger protests if the dues are not released.
Bharatiya Janata Party leader Rao Padma Reddy alleged that nearly 40 lakh Telangana students were affected by unpaid fee reimbursements.
She said colleges were withholding student certificates because of approximately Rs 15,000 crore in pending dues.
Padma Reddy spoke at the ‘Fee Arrears – BJP Fight’ protest at Ekashila Park in Hanamkonda on Saturday.
She demanded that the Telangana government immediately clear the arrears and criticized Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy’s remarks about inherited debts.
Padma Reddy urged Rahul Gandhi to address students’ concerns and warned that the Bharatiya Janata Party would intensify its agitation.
