Telangana CM should make clear statement on ₹15,000 crore fee reimbursement dues: Ramchander Rao
BJP Telangana president N. Ramchander Rao has demanded that the state government clarify its timeline for clearing ₹15,000 crore in student fee reimbursement dues. He criticized the current Congress administration and the previous BRS government for their handling of education funding and student welfare.
Why it matters
The issue highlights significant financial strain on the state's education system and serves as a point of political contention between major parties in Telangana.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Telangana president N. Ramchander Rao demanded that Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy make a clear statement on when the government would clear the nearly ₹15,000 crore fee reimbursement dues , alleging that the Congress government was adopting a delaying tactic on an issue concerning lakhs of students.
Addressing a press conference at the BJP State office in Hyderabad on Saturday (September 12, 2026), Mr. Rao rejected the Chief Minister’s remarks in the Assembly on Friday that the BJP had failed to question the previous Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government over fee reimbursement dues. He said that, as an MLC, he had raised the issue of fee reimbursement, student scholarships and the state of the education system in the Legislative Council as early as January 4, 2017, and that the proceedings would establish this.
