MP alleges rampant corruption in University of Mysore

November 19, 2022

Mysore/Mysuru: Stating that the University of Mysore (UoM) is on the brink of disaster, MP Pratap Simha has alleged rampant corruption in the over-century-old University.

He was speaking after inaugurating the day-long Mahila Udyog Mela and Expo of products made by women, organised by Educare ITES in association with WOMENCAN Foundation at Maharani’s Commerce and Management College for Women on Valmiki Road in Paduvarahalli here yesterday.

Claiming that 1,300 Master Degree holders have joined UoM as Group D Employees for a Rs.12,000 salary by paying bribes, which goes to show how bad the situation in the University is, Simha alleged that there are many irregularities in the conduct of K-SET meant for recruitment of college lecturers.

Maintaining that the talent of intelligent students should not go waste under the carpet of corruption, the MP said that he raised the issue with University Grants Commission (UGC) Chairman Jagadish Kumar and succeeded in stopping the holding of K-SET for the past 18 months.

Asserting that he came to Mysuru for serving the people, Simha said that as an MP he has brought many projects for the constituency which has resulted in job creation.

“I have great respect for former CM S.M. Krishna for constructing the four-lane Mysuru-Bengaluru Highway. He is also credited for IT Major Infosys setting up a mega centre in Mysuru. Krishna also planned the Ring Road for Mysuru,” he said adding that Karnataka hardly had a Chief Minister with such a vision.

The MP further said that space will be provided in Exhibition Grounds for an Expo of women-made products. Mysuru and Hampi have been shortlisted  under ‘Swadesh Darshan’ scheme which is aimed at providing markets for women made and desi products, he added.

    This is the MP Simha who The SOM editor Vikram and his father Ganapathy touted as the next leader of India-after hearing the news that a young Indian-origin person became the PM of Britain.
    This is the same Simha who talked nonsense about Tipu Sultan forcing Persian language on people-which he did not as he was killed by the British. That comparison to defend the \Hindi imposition by the Hindi fanatics lkike Narendra Modi and Amit Shah sounded him as a demented creep.
    What a dreadful observation! This idiot forgets that the BJP government in Karnataka and at the Centre where Amit Shah the home minister has let his son Jay Shah run rampant in Gujarat, controlling that state with corrupt practices, and given the Karnataka government is called 40% commission government and Amit Shah’s son Jay Shah is compared to Sanjay Gandhi, in comparison, the UOM corruption pales into insignificance.
    Let us examine his projects, he proudly prattles about:
    1. Mysore airport expansion to land jet passenger aircraft: His PM Modi has promised on a stop over there, talking to Keralite businessmen resident there that he will approve non-stop UAE-Mysore flights several time a week. These are the so called businessmen who are currently smuggling gold to Kerala and want to expand their business to Mysore. They are the ones who are expanding the Hawala channel money operations in Mysore, leading to their crime gangs punishing the defaulters.
    2. His Hassan-Kodagu-Kerala proposed highway: More keralites, particularly those who are involved in the above gold smuggling to bring their crowd to Mysore to settle.
    3. Mysore-Chennia, super express: more tamils will arrive to settle in Mysore.
    The above 1, 2 and 3 mean more non-Mysoreans arriving in large numbers to settle in Mysore., amking this city more congested and opening up Greater Mysore project, with a massively crowded region of immigrants.
    This idiot has not got enough brain cells to realise that he will lose his next election, when the above non-Mysoreans get their own candidate , and vote for him/her.
    Simha, a new younger leader like the British PM? No, a fool with a limited brain cells count.

    Well, MP Pratap Simha, the toll booths will collect the tolls, most of them will go to the pockets of the officials and the 40% commission famous politicians.
    Within just 2 yearts this highway will be congested with vehicles, the speed of them drops to 20MPH, and the highway will look as wonderful as the current state of the Mysore-Nanjangud highway!
