KCR to explain cut-off for Andhra people in Telangana

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhara Rao has come in for severe criticizms after he set 1956 as the cut-off year to decide nativity. Now, we hear the KCR government will file an affidavit in the Apex Court citing reasons for denying fees to students from Andhra Pradesh seeking admissions in colleges across the state.

The Telangana government contends that it lacks resources to offer fee reimbursement for a large number of students from Andhra Pradesh. It will become a major burden on the government, the government says. The KCR govt in its affidavit has alleged that there were irregularities with respect to fee reimbursement schemes in AP wherein a good amount of public money was misused.

It's a known fact that the government has already sought an extension for EAMCET counselling.
