New Delhi: The Delhi University Teachers' Association (DUTA) on Friday urged the Centre to take over colleges run by the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government claiming that teachers were not getting proper salaries due to budget cuts while political activists were being appointed as head of governing bodies. DUTA chief A K Bhagi also claimed that teachers had even held demonstrations outside Chief Minister Kejriwal's house but to no avail.
"Due to fund deficit, pay cut of teachers is happening since last two yrs in 12 colleges under Delhi government. We've held demonstrations outside CM's house, gone to Deputy CM, nobody listened to us. We want the Central govt to take these colleges under its wings," Bhagi said.
