Belagavi: The proposal to bifurcate the Visvesvaraya Technological University ( VTU ) in the state budget by chief minister HD Kumaraswamy has again brought regional imbalance to the fore.Senior Congress leader Basavaraj Rayareddy, former higher education minister, said the proposal is an insult to North Karnataka which cannot be tolerated. “As the higher education minister, I had proposed a new comprehensive Act, including addressing regional balance and social justice, which is yet to be passed. “I asked higher education minister GT Devegowda. If that’s passed, there are chances of VTU getting a V-C from North Karnataka region,” he added. Now, VTU has won the case in the I-T tribunal and shortly, VTU will get Rs 470 crore and interest.
