YSRCP leaders demanded immediate release of ₹9,600 crore in pending fee reimbursement dues and Education Minister Nara Lokesh's resignation. MLC Kalpalatha Reddy and Student Wing chief Ravichandra accused the TDP government of endangering students' futures. The demand follows a suicide attempt by a student at SVCET Chittoor, with roughly 11 lakh students affected across 13 unpaid quarters.
