BJP Leader's Reaction to School Fee Allegations

"Is there cash for admissions in Tamil Nadu government schools? Strict action should be taken against those demanding bribe for admissions in the government school," Nagenthran said, posting the video on 'X'.

He claimed a teacher demanded Rs 250 from each aspirant to provide application forms for admission to class 11 at the Tiruppur Nanjappa Government Boys' Higher Secondary School.

Call for Government Action

"I strongly condemn such irregularities in government schools, which are the temples of learning. Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay, who is claiming to provide an alternate government, should explain the steps to address the issue," the BJP leader said.

Further, strict departmental action should be taken against the school staff involved in the "bribery" incident, he said.

Demand to Fill Vacant Posts

Nagenthran urged the state government to immediately fill 1,800 vacant posts of headmasters and 20 district education officers in state-run schools.
