YSR Congress honorary president Y S VIjayamma will undertake a two-day fast on July 18 and 19, demanding the reversal of the GO which allows for increasing fees reimbursement for higher education and technical education.
?The state has issued a GO fixing a ceiling of Rs 35,000 as fees for engineering students, and this will further dilute the fees-reimbursement scheme introduced by YSR.
"The party has decided to protest against the government policy, and Y S Vijayamma will go on a two-day fast,? party senior leader Dr M V Mysoora Reddy told reporters on Sunday.
The deeksha was originally scheduled for July 14 and 15 but was deferred due to the weather.
Earlier, Y S Jaganmohan Reddy had undertaken "Fees Poru" at Indira Park from February 14-24, 2011, while Y S VIjayamma had participated in similar protest programmes at Eluru on August 13, 2012, and at Indira Park on September 6 and September 7, 2012.
Sources claim that the Deeksha will be in protest against the GO, and will demand the government to revoke the order. (INN)
