Amid growing differences between the state government and Raj Bhavan, West Bengal Education Minister Bratya Basu on Friday alleged that the governor is acting arbitrarily while appointing interim vice chancellors in state universities.
The minister said the government will be "forced" to take the legal route if Governor C.V. Ananda Bose continues to unilaterally appoint VCs without the state's consent.
He also expressed dismay over reports that the governor has taken the responsibility of discharging functions in 14 of the 20 other universities in the state till the appointments are made.
