My son’s college was rented out, clarifies Rajput: Transport minister Govind Rajput clarified that “ My son owns Gyanvir Institute. But it’s computer centre was hired by a Bengaluru-based agency. Examination is underway. Executive of the company handles the software till the examination is completed. Cameras are installed in all the rooms. Police are deployed outside the college.”
Minister further said, “ Under such circumstances, if even family members try to get entry, they are stopped. So it is part of a strategy to defame my college. Many congress leaders own colleges in the state. We simply rent out a computer centre and do not interfere. My family has nothing to do with irregularities of PEB.”Home minister Dr Narottam Mishra, defending Govind Rajput, said, “ company hire the college for examination so it is not justified to blame college directly. Social media platforms are not reliable.”
