Registrar e-mails his resignation letter to V-C

YSRCP student wing leaders led by Linga Reddy on Saturday forced the Rector of Sri Krishnadevaraya University, M.C.S. Subha, to resign to her post.

They forcibly removed the name plate outside her chamber located in the administrative block of the university.

Ms. Subha, who was the former in-charge Vice-Chancellor, is scheduled to retire from service on June 30.

The students leaders, numbering about 25 and carrying party flags, barged into the chamber of Ms. Subha and forced her to put in her papers reportedly “to make way for the YSRCP government to appoint new officials” in Andhra Pradesh. OSD A.V. Ramana, who was present there, was forced to follow suit.

The students raised slogans till both of them signed the resignation letters and submitted the same to Vice-Chancellor S.M. Rahmatullah.

‘Very unfortunate’

“It is very unfortunate that such events are taking place on the campus with the change of guard in the State,” he later told The Hindu.

The students tried to mount pressure on the Vice-Chancellor to quit, but he refused saying that he was appointed recently by the Governor.
