Vittal, Jul 25: Bowing down to the demand of ABVP, the education department has directed Vittal Government First grade College Principal to go on leave for a week without pay. Meanwhile Professor Xavier D'Souza has been appointed as the acting principal. Following an attack on students by a group of students from the same college, ABVP had staged a stir demanding suspension of the Principal alleging him of instigating communal drift in the college.

On Wednesday, as the College started, ABVP member students staged a stir against the mal administration of the Principal. Since no officials visited the College till about 11 am, the students were raged.

Department Assistant Director Y S Ganathi visited the college at afternoon and held a talk with Principal Uday Shankar. The Principal was asked to go on a week-long non-paid leave.

Meanwhile Joint Director Dr Devananda Gaonkar too called students and had a talk with them. He collected information about the college, the Principal, classes and various other issues. The students were asked write their answers on sheets of papers.

Information was also gathered from staff members.

It is said that a sense of tension and suspicion prevailed in the college over the last few days. Though the crisis seems to have been settled as of now, the next turn of events is to be watched.

JD(S) leader G T Devegowda backs CM Siddaramaiah in MUDA row, taunts HDK

Mysuru: Chairman of JD(S) core committee and Chamundeshwari constituency MLA G T Devegowda on Thursday expressed his solidarity with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah saying the latter need not resign, while lambasting leaders of his own party and alliance partner BJP, including Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy.

In his speech during Mysuru Dasara inauguration he said that if persons against whom FIR is registered have to resign, many leaders from all the three parties, including Opposition Leader R Ashoka, will have to resign.

“All are sitting in glass houses... Since I know Siddaramaiah well, I am talking about him. At a time when mines and real estate are ruling politics, Siddaramaiah has survived in politics. He has never done any favour,” Devegowda said.

He added, “Allegations against Siddaramaiah are unexpected and accidental. If the Governor and Chief Justice order an investigation, it does not mean that he should resign."

He continued, asking, "Have they told Siddaramaiah to resign or have they asked to imprison him? When a person becomes a Central minister, he or she should realise their dignity and responsibility. Instead of recognising the good work done by Siddaramaiah, they ask him to resign. Will Kumarswamy (facing an FIR) resign? Should Siddaramaiah, who has become CM with a support of 135 MLAs, resign?"

"Opposition leaders are not remembering the good work of earlier CMs Kengal Hanumanthaiah, Veerendra Patil, Ramakrishna Hegde, H D Deve Gowda or S M Krishna. Karnataka is a model state. It is a bad trend to topple an elected government which is doing good work,” he further said.

Devegowda added, “Siddaramaiah is Goddess Chamundeshwari’s ‘Varaputra’ and hence has her blessings during tough times. He won the election in Chamundeshwari Assembly constituency, when the BJP-JD(S) government was in power in 2006. With the blessings of the Goddess, he has held varied positions right from becoming an MLA for the first time in 1983. He presented 15 budgets and has become CM for a second time. He took H C Mahadevappa, a Dalit leader to the state level. Siddaramaiah has the support of Deputy CM D K Shivakumar as ‘Jodeththu’. Blessings of the beneficiaries of guarantee schemes are with him (Siddaramaiah).”

Siddaramaiah said, “Devegowda was a MUDA member. He knows the truth. Hence, he is saying this. His words have filled strength in me. ‘Satyameva Jayate’, Truth will always triumph.”
