Minister refutes AIADMK’s charge that the govt. is scuttling its formation
Minister for Higher Education K. Ponmudi on Friday said that the previous AIADMK government had, for namesake, announced the establishment of Jayalalithaa University in Villupuram during the fag end of its tenure without taking any practical steps for its functioning. Talking to reporters at the end of a review meeting here, he said there was no need for Jayalalithaa University. The previous government had announced the decision in a hurry, and the institution remained non-functional. He termed as baseless and unwarranted the allegation of the AIADMK that the present government was trying to scuttle the formation of the university.More Related News
