BRSV district president Dharani Rajesh alleged that the government was adopting anti-student policies. Accusing the government of negligence in releasing scholarships and fees under the reimbursement scheme, he said meritorious students were quitting studies as they could not clear the fees and get certificates from their educational institutions.

He further stated that the students were starved as they were not fed quality food at government-run hostels. He regretted that managements of private educational institutions were forced to lock colleges due to the delay in granting the scholarships and fees. He wanted the government to lay focus on the problems of the students.

Kranthi Bhumanna, Sajid, Jadi Venkatesh, Srikanth, Dinesh and many others were present.
