U’khand CM Rawat slams Congress MP Shashi Tharoor over his false allegations of fee hike in the state

Dehradun, March 31: Uttarakhand CM Trivendra Rawat slammed Congress MP Shashi Tharoor over his allegations that private medical colleges in Uttarakhand had implemented a 300% fee hike taking the fee from Rs. 7 lakh per year to Rs. 26.6 lakh per year.

In a tweet, Tharoor had said “In Uttarakhand, private medical colleges hike fees 300%, from 7 lakh per yr to 26.6 lakh. A 4 yr MBBS degree course will now cost 1 crore rupees. Under BJP, no student loans. How can a middle-class student afford it? What kind of country are we creating?”

 

This tweet of Tharoor turned CM Rawat’s red eye towards him. He totally rejected the allegations made by Tharoor and also he said the tweet by Shashi Tharoor is far away from the truth. Adding to his statement CM Rawat said that his government is committed to the welfare of the students and won't let any private institution’s arbitrary.

 

In a reply, CM Rawat said “Dear Shashi Tharoor you should not be spreading lies on the medical college fees issues- my govt is committed to not let any private college overcharge students and we have ordered colleges to roll back fees raised by them. We are committed to the welfare of students.”
