HP BJP flays Congress for nominating MLAs in private varsities

Shimla: Himachal Pradesh BJP on Saturday alleged that the state government was politicising the education as it nominated MLAs instead of academicians in the governing bodies of private universities in the state.
BJP spokesman Ganesh dutt said appointing Congress leaders instead of academicians in the Himachal Pradesh Private University regulatory Commission would be a sinister move which would defeat the very purpose of setting up the Commission.
He said the Commission would become another political arm of the ruling party.

Congress while in Opposition had vehemently criticised the BJP government on the issue of private universities but now it is aggressively promoting private universities, Dutt said.
