BENGALURU: Amid strong opposition, the BJP government on Tuesday clarified there are no changes in its plan of building the Sanskrit university in Magadi taluk, Ramanagara.
Higher education minister CN Ashwath Narayan told TOI the government will not budge following statements and campaigns against the university, claiming vested interests were behind them. “We are not sacrificing our Kannada asmite (identity). The BJP government was the first to bring a law to make Kannada compulsory in all varsities. So where is the question of us sacrificing our mother tongue? The decision to develop Sanskrit university will stay,” Narayan said.
