Kerala-Thiruvananthapuram
By Our Special Correspondent
In separate statements here today, the CPI State secretary, Veliyam Bhargavan, and the RSP State secretary, T.J. Chandrachoodan, said the UDF convener, Oommen Chandy's statement that the managements could not be asked to refund the fees already collected from students who had secured admission for the engineering courses amounted to surrender before the managements. Mr. Bhargavan warned the Government that it was inviting a strong agitation by adopting such a stance. The Government, he said, had promised the Opposition student leaders that the fee structure in Government colleges would be applicable to private self-financing professional colleges as well. The Government could have kept its word by asking the managements to adjust the excess amount collected this year in the fees payable next year, he said. In his statement, the RSP secretary alleged that the Government decision not to invoke the powers the Supreme Court verdict had vested it with and to allow the private managements to fleece the students and parents was a political game meant to appease a particular section who could be of use to it in the Ernakulam Lok Sabha byelection.
