Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLA T Harish Rao on Tuesday, October 15, slammed the Telangana government over alleged non payment of Jyotibha Phule BC overseas scholarships to Backward Class (BC) students.
“Why is Congress government not releasing funds to 65 BC students who got financial assistance under Mahatma Jyotiba Phule BC Overseas Education Fund Scheme under BRS government?” Rao questioned.
He further asked whether the Congress government is planning to scrap the overseas scholarship scheme designed by former Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) in order to help poor students to pursue higher studies abroad.
