Led by State President Jyoti Rautela, Mahila Congress workers marched toward Education Minister Dhan Singh Rawat’s residence in Dehradun to protest soaring education costs.
The protest featured a "dummy minister" to mock the alleged nexus between school operators and political funding, suggesting fee hikes are linked to election donations.
Protesters highlighted that private schools are allegedly selling book sets worth ₹2,000 for as much as ₹8,000 and forcing parents to pay fees months in advance.
Jyoti Rautela accused the BJP government of commercializing education and demanded stricter government monitoring to prevent the financial harassment of parents.
