The state has been rocked by the opposition Congress, who have attacked the government.
In a press conference held at the capital of the state, the BJP president stated that Chief Minister has no moral authority to remain in office following the governor’s scathing remarks.
K.Surendran called also for the removal of R.Bindu, state minister of higher education.
Kerala Governor Dr Gopinath Ravindran, Vice-Chancellor of Kannur University had raised objections.
It is regrettable that the Kerala state government continued with the post despite Governor’s protest.Arif Mohammed Khan said also that academic standards and quality were affected by political intervention in the posts of Vice-Chancellors.
Surendran stated that Kerala CPI-M tried to silence all academic institutions.He also said that CPI-M had packed these higher-learning institutions with CPI-M-educated people.
Surendran added that universities in Kerala are highly politicized.
He also said on Sunday that there has to be a will to end the political interference in academic institutions and that dialogues would not do any good but instead, action was necessary.
The Governor also kept the Kerala BJP at an arms distance and did not heed the party’s request for posting a candidate recommended by it as the Kannur Vice-Chancellor.
He had then informed the Prime Minister that the Kerala BJP had recommended the name of a candidate for the post of Calicut university Vice-Chancellor and that he had not considered that.
The Governor had told media then that the Prime Minister had told him to go ahead with academic merit as the criteria in postings.
