Bengaluru: Governor Vajubhai Vala appointed Prof P Subrahmanya Yadapadithaya as the new VC of the Mangaluru University.
Prof Yadapadithaya is the professor in the Department of Commerce in the university.
According to the sources, the Governor appointed Yadapadithaya without any consultation with the state government. ‘As per the act, Governor should consult with the state government, but in this case, he didn’t consult with the state government,” informed sources.
“When Siddaramaiah was the CM, he didn’t allow the Governor to take these kinds of decisions, but present CM HD Kumaraswamy, who is running a coalition government is allowing the Governor to set a bad precedent by allowing him to take appointment-related decisions unilaterally,” said sources.
