Deputy Chief Minister C.N. Ashwath Narayan and BJP members A.H. Vishwanath and Ayanur Manjunath in the Legislative Council.
Despite a protracted debate in the Council that saw members cutting across party lines calling for more stringent regulation on the five new private universities proposed, four of the Bills that allows them were passed without any amendment on Wednesday.
Earlier in the debate, members had suggested a long list of amendments and demanded the Bills be referred to the select committee. Deputy Chief Minister and Higher Education Minister C.N. Ashwath Narayan, who piloted the Bills, said the laws ensured the private universities were already “over-regulated”, but assured the House that the suggestions given by the Council would be considered when Rules are framed.
