BJP slams TRS Govt for cancellation of Science Congress event

Hyderabad : The Bharatiya Janta Party has strongly condemned the TRS Government for cancellation of 105th Indian Science Congress at Osmania University.

"TRS Government has clearly proven itself to be incompetent to host the 105th World Science Congress scheduled in the first week of January at Osmania University campus. The cancellation of the event at the last hour certainly raises suspicion on the actual intention of the government," Telangana BJP Spokesperson Krishna Saagar Rao said in a statement on Friday.

The BJP leader strongly rejected the "excuses" being given by the Vice Chancellor and others for this cancellation. "Students of Osmania University would have not obstructed a grand academic event like world science congress. TRS Government seems to be working against the interest of Osmania University and its students right from the beginning of their regime," he said.

"This decision also highlights the dismal situation of higher education policy and infrastructural collapse under CM KCR rule in the Telangana State. BJP strongly protests the last minute cancellation of this prestigious event causing huge confusion and loss to hundreds of delegates, who were to attend this event at Osmania University two weeks from now," the BJP leader said.
