After Rahul Gandhi’s nudge, Maharashtra scraps age limit for tribal hostel admissions

After Rahul Gandhi’s nudge, Maharashtra scraps age limit for tribal hostel admissions

The BJP has criticized Rahul Gandhi for directing his concerns towards tribal hostels in Maharashtra, urging him to first examine the situation in Congress-ruled states of Telangana and Karnataka.

The BJP also alleged that Congress leaders have misused these schools and exploited tribal communities when the party was in power.
