Amartya Sen: Cong, JD(U) slam BJP
" I hope they have a change of heart and not politicise this issue," Congress spokesperson Ajoy Kumar said while addressing a press conference.
Janata Dal-United leader Nitish Kumar told reporters: "This is a very disturbing development."
Noble laureate Amartya Sen will not go for a second term as the Chancellor of Nalanda University, he told media and through a letter hinting that the was not wanted by the ruling BJP government in New Delhi and especially Prime Minister Narendra Modi whom he had disapproved as the PM of India during the 2014 Lok Sabha polls.
In a letter to the governing body of Nalanada University available to some media, the Nobel Economics laureate wrote: "It is hard for me not to conclude that the government wants me to cease being the chancellor of Nalanda University after this July, and technically, it has the power to do so."
