Mysuru: Making an indirect reference to former University of Mysore (UoM) and KSOU Vice-Chancellor Prof. K.S. Rangappa, who is also the JD(S) candidate from Chamaraja Constituency, MLA Vasu has said that he was not so big to talk about ‘knowledgeable people.’
Speaking to press persons at Jaladarshini Guest House here yesterday, Vasu maintained that he had done his best as an MLA for the past five years.
Stating that he had no black spot as MLA from Chamaraja constituency, Vasu said he grew up politically from the grassroot level.
Stating that he lost two times to H.S. Shankaralingegowda, Vasu said that he did not speak ill of the victor or the defeated whenever he won or lost elections.
Claiming that 4.5 lakh students were affected by KSOU row, Vasu in an indirect reference to Prof. Rangappa, said that only the ‘Knowledgeable people’ should react on the plight of the KSOU students.
Pointing out that MP and former CM Dr. M. Veerappa Moily during a recent press meet had blamed a former VC while not mentioning his name for the KSOU row, Vasu wondered why Prof. Rangappa should react to Moily’s remark when he (Moily) had not named anyone.
Listing his achievements as an MLA, Vasu said it was left to the people to compare his work with that of the previous MLAs elected from the constituency.
