The Congress party has alleged that the State Government has sold the 276 MBBS seats of the private medical colleges, which were reserved for the Non-Resident Indian (NRI) students.
All India Congress Committee’s Secretary and MlA Bala Bachchan has raised question mark on the distribution of NRI seats and has demanded to make the information of the students public, who have been admitted on the NRI seats.
In a statement, Bachchan stated that according to the instructions of the Supreme Court, the 276 seats of 12 private colleges should be distributed in the supervision of the State Government among the NRI students but the state government has sold the seats to the Non- NRI students.
Bachchan said that around 784 seats out of 1524 seats have been distributed among the students during the first counseling. 730 seats were supposed to be distributed during the second counseling but only 262 seats were distributed on October 7. However, 468 seats were also distributed till midnight.
Bachchan alleged that the state government is supporting the owners of the private medical colleges. The talented Students of the state have been cheated. Thousands of students were expelled during the Vyapam scam and now the state government is defying the instructions of the Supreme Court. What is the reason behind not filling the seats of the domicile studentsIJ He questioned.
Bachchan further stated that the state government has taken no action on the private colleges and the brokers, who contacted the families of the students this proves that the government is supporting them.
Bachchan demanded, “We will start an agitation from roads to the assembly. CBI probe should be ordered on the issue.”
