The Uddhav Thackeray-led MVA government has been at loggerheads with Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari ever since the tripartite arrangement came into existence
Taking the fight with the BJP to the next level, the Maha Vikas Aghadi Cabinet has decided to scrap the governor’s sweeping powers to appoint vice chancellors to state-run universities. As per the change proposed, the state government will recommend V-C nominees to the governor, who has so far made appointments from among the names provided by the Raj Bhavan-appointed expert committees.
The decision came after it was first discussed in the Cabinet meeting last August when the ministers from Nagpur—Dr Nitin Raut, Sunil Kedar and Vijay Wadettiwar—had accused Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari of appointing academicians who are ideologically affiliated with the Sangh Parivar and BJP. The trio was upset over the appointment of Dr Subhash Chaudhari as Nagpur University’s V-C.
