Goa Deputy Chief Minister Vijai Sardesai Wednesday accused the Goa University of manipulating the reservation roster to deny deserving local OBC and Scheduled Tribe candidates the required posts in the varsity.
The Goa University is in controversy after it dropped the criteria of 15 years domicile for filing 60-odd posts at different levels. The move had evoked a strong reaction from the Goa Forward Party (GFP), an alliance partner in the BJP-led government.
Sardesai, who is also the GFP president, has written a letter to Chief Minister Pramod Sawant, claiming the university was trying to give jobs to non-Goans.
"It is also learnt that the reservation roster has been manipulated to deny deserving Goans OBC or ST candidates these posts, this needs to be investigated thoroughly.
