Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] State secretary M.V. Govindan accused Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan of endeavouring to hammer out an illicit political alliance”“ between the Sangh Parivar and the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) to gain control of State-funded universities in an allegedly underhand manner.
At a press conference, Mr Govindan said Mr. Khan, as the Chancellor of State universities, “coordinated” the political plot.
He accused Mr. Khan of using his nomination powers to stack the governing bodies of State universities with right-wing figures.
