Rajya Sabha member and National BC Welfare Association President R. Krishnaiah demanded that the Telangana government withdraw GO No. 9 and continue the system of reimbursement of fees and stipends as per the earlier system.

He was speaking at a large demonstration demanding the immediate release of nearly Rs 8,000 crore for payment of fees to colleges. The protesters claimed that about 14,000 students were affected by mounting arrears and warned of intensified agitation if the government did not resolve the issue.
