Accusing Mayawati for bad state of education in the state, Congress (I) has said that scams in her government did not spare even poor students’ scholarship scheme. Mayawati government is playing with the education and career of students of Uttar Pradesh, said Congress (I). Under higher education scholarship scheme UP government allotted funds of Rs 500 crores. But out of this amount Rs 400 crore were siphoned off by ministers of Mayawati in connivance with private educational institutions, said Congress (I). There are around 700 private professional colleges in the state. State government is paying fees of SC/ST and poor students in the form of scholarship direct to the private institutions alleged Congress. But private colleges are also charging fees from those students, added the Congress. Thus while students have been deprived of the benefits of scholarship, Mayawati has helped private colleges to fill their coffers, said Congress (I).
