BJP flays govt. over pending fee reimbursement dues
The BJP has criticized the Congress-led government in Telangana for delaying the release of ₹12,000 crore in student fee reimbursements. BJP leaders claim this failure is negatively impacting students and reflects a broader pattern of governance issues.
Why it matters
This highlights the political tension surrounding education funding and the fulfillment of campaign promises in Indian state politics.
BJP State president N. Ramchander Rao on Thursday alleged that the Congress government was showing “callous apathy” towards students by delaying the release of fee reimbursement dues, which he claimed had mounted to ₹ 12,000 crore.
The BJP would stand by students in their struggle for the release of the pending fee reimbursement amount, he said while addressing a students’ protest in Karimnagar.
The protest was organised by the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM). A rally, titled ‘Students March’ was taken out in the town before the dharna.
Addressing the protesters, Mr. Rao came down heavily on the Congress government alleging that the delay in releasing fee reimbursement dues was causing severe hardship to lakhs of students and their parents and affecting the academic pursuits of students.
