Puducherry unit of the BJP on Saturday charged the UT Government with failing students in procuring seats for them in self-financing deemed universities for Post Graduate medical courses under Government quota.
BJP’s local unit president V Saminathan told reporters here that every year the government was proving its “inefficiency” in getting seats under the Government quota for professional courses in keeping with the stipulation that 50 per cent of the total seats should be earmarked for students under the quota.
Students in Puducherry faced difficulty this year and the intervention of lt Governor Kiran Bedi in the admission issue has enabled the aspirants for PG courses to get the seats through a judicial remedy, he added.
Saminathan also scoffed at the initiative of the Congress government to amend the Union Territories Act 1963 to curtail the powers of the lt Governor.
