Protesting against the mess in declaring Mumbai University results, the Maharashtra Congress on Saturday demanded that the resignation of Governor C.V. Rao.
"While appointing the (current) Vice-Chancellor, persons with more experience and qualifications were bypassed to appoint Deshmukh, merely because he is well connected with the RSS and had spent three years with the RSS think tank, Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini," state Congress spokesperson Sachin Sawant informed media.
In an unprecedented step on July 4, Rao summoned Dehmukh and ordered him to ensure that all results are declared by July 31, and appointed an independent officer to monitor the results progress and report daily to the Governor and the state government, reports NDTV.
