Governor justifies sacking of SKU V-C

New Delhi, August 10: Governor ESL Narasimhan today justified sacking Sri Krishnadevaraya University vice-chancellor P Kusuma Kumari.

“A highly reputed high court judge went through the charges. The government recommended action only after that,” Narasimhan, who came here to meet Union home minister P Chidambaram said.

He dismissed as baseless the allegations that there were political considerations behind the removal of Kusuma Kumari. “It is ridiculous,” he said, adding that the government had only one objective – providing quality education to students.

Asked whether he would order a CBI inquiry into the allegations of N Chandrababu Naidu that former TTD chairman B Karunakar Reddy had misused his position and resorted to corruption, the governor said: Why CBI inquiry? Do you think they have no other work?” he said.
