Information
BELLARY: The president of the State unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Jagadish Shettar, has come down heavily on the coalition Government for failing to resolve the Common Entrance Test (CET) imbroglio.

Mr. Shettar was here to participate in a padayatra organised by the district unit of the party to protest against the police firing at Kolur village in Bellary district recently.

He charged the Government with neglecting the CET issue and failing to come up with a permanent solution.

A piece of legislation is necessary to solve the problem permanently and the State Government has to approach the Union Government in this regard. Instead, the State Government has been holding discussions and meetings without any fruitful results. It is clear that the Government is keen on safeguarding the interests of the managements of professional colleges, many of which are run by MPs and MLAs, at the cost of meritorious and poor students, he said.

Mr. Shettar, referring to the proposed seat-sharing ratio announced by the State government recently, said that it was done only to favour the management. Mr. Mallikarjun Kharge, Mr. Shamnur Shivashankarappa, Prabhakar Kore were among other party leaders to run these professional colleges.

Mr. Shettar said the Government is not serious about setting up six new medical colleges. According to him, the Government has earmarked a meagre amount for the new colleges, while several crores of rupees is required to establish a medical college.
