Patna: Terming as "anti-poor" the bid to change the existing eligibility criteria for appearing in IIT exams, LJP president Ramvilas Paswan today asked Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to intervene in the matter.
"The proposal brought by HRD minister Kapil Sibal is anti-poor and will lead to discontent among the students...it requires reconsideration," Paswan told reporters here.
The Prime Minister should intervene in the matter immediately, he said.
