Congressman criticizes BJP for alleged control over Indian universities, citing scholarship cuts and new regulations.

Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge criticized the BJP and RSS for allegedly interfering with India's higher education, claiming they aim to control universities and impose their ideology. He highlighted the discontinuation of the NTSE scholarship, a 61% cut in UGC funding, and new draft regulations giving governors control over vice-chancellor appointments. Kharge argues these changes will harm marginalized students and undermine educational autonomy.
