Nanaiah to raise university's irregularities in the legislative council; will seek a CBI inquiry
Irregularities at Bangalore University will reverberate in the legislature during the monsoon session, thanks to MiD DAY reports.
M C Nanaiah, veteran council member and former minister, will raise the issues in the legislative council when it meets from July 9, along with the legislative assembly, to pass the budget among other bills.

The issues include the registrar's triple role in the university, illegal appointment of a special officer to oversee the examination process, and granting permission to a person supposedly close to the chief minister's son to set up nodal centres.
"I read all the reports and I'm convinced that something is terribly wrong with the university," he said. "I will seek a discussion on these issues and urge for a CBI inquiry. " We have to take it to its logical end," he said.

'Surgery needed'
He said he had hoped vice-chancellor Dr N Prabhudev would bring some change as he had a good reputation but developments indicate that the repair work is beyond his reach.
"Corruption in the University is so rampant that it needs a major surgery," he said, adding, "Unfortunately, the surgeon at the helm seems to have forgotten his skills."
Prabhudev, a famous heart surgeon, said, "I take the criticism positively. I am ready for the surgery but a good surgeon ensures good condition of the patient before and after the surgery. And you know I am a good surgeon."
MiD DAY's news breaks
MiD DAY had carried a series of reports on registrar Sanjay Vir Singh's triple role in the university where he wrote his MBA exams while also teaching in the same department as guest faculty.
The paper had also exposed a scam involving one Uday Singh, supposedly close to the chief minister's son, who was granted permission to set up nodal centres across the country for distance education.
