Nomination of candidates recommended by Delhi government yet to be approved by DU: AAP leader

NEW DELHI: Senior AAP leader Somnath Bharti on Tuesday alleged that Delhi University has not yet approved the nomination of candidates recommended by the city dispensation for governing bodies in government-funded colleges. No immediate reaction on the matter was available from the Delhi University administration.

Bharti alleged that the university administration did not abide by the laws and the Delhi government's recommendation has been "ignored on purpose to enable saffronisation" of the campus.

"The Delhi University administration has not approved the nominations of candidates our government recommended for forming governing bodies in 28 government-funded colleges."

"Our recommendations were ignored on purpose to enable saffronisation of the university campus," he alleged. On February 21, then-deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia wrote to Delhi University vice-chancellor Yogesh Singh over the delay in formation of governing bodies in 28 government-funded colleges.

He had requested Singh to expedite the formation of fully-functional governing bodies at all the colleges.
