Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has charged Delhi University (DU) with attempt to “stall” the formation of governing bodies in 28 colleges funded by it, hurting the interests of teachers and students.
In a letter to DU Vice-Chancellor (VC) Yogesh Tyagi, Sisodia expressed his “unhappiness” over “under-hand politics” in the matter.
“This dirty politics is going to affect the interests of teachers and students of these colleges,” he said.
The Delhi Government funds 28 colleges that are affiliated to DU.
Sisodia alleged that DU had been “holding up” the formation of governing bodies by “delaying” the lists of its nominees in the bodies to be sent to the Government.
The term of the previous governing bodies had already ended on October 31, 2016.
The staff of the colleges is suffering due to non- payment of salaries in absence of the governing bodies, he said and added that he was ordering the release of funds for payment of salaries of one month.
