Appointment of CUJ VC: Controversial Kachroo played important role | Brokers' lobby gives befitting reply to RSS | | Early Times Report Jammu, Apr 17: Appointment of Prof Ashok Aima as Vice-Chancellor of Central University Jammu has given a clear indication that RSS is losing grip over BJP and power brokers in the party appears to be more power than Sangh Parivar in the party. After rejecting names of eminent scholar like K N Pandita for Legislative Council, this brokers' lobby within the BJP, has got Prof Aima appointed as Vice Chancellor of prestigious Central University which is still in the initial stage and needs Vice Chancellor with visionary thinking. Credible sources in the BJP said that RSS and other organisations of the Sangh Parviar had forwarded names of two dedicated ABVP activists for the post of Vice Chancellor but the brokers' lobby has managed to "lure" some BJP leaders who played very crucial role in the appointment of Prof Aima as Vice Chancellor. This brokers' lobby, who has managed to "win over" a top BJP leader through means known only to them, with his support got names of ABVP leaders deleted from the list of panel. Credible sources said that Sanjay Kachroo, controversial OSD of HRD Minister Smriti Irani, had played crucial role in Prof Aima's appointment. Sanjay Kachroo, who has shown the door two days back, was part of the brokers' lobby within the BJP. This lobby with the support of one of the BJP state general secretary wanted to teach RSS a lesson for creating hurdles in their projects so they worked overtime to ensure appointment of Prof Aima. Credible sources said that this lobby was over-joyed over nomination of Surinder Ambardar as MLC so they hatched another strategy to rejected RSS's nominees for the post of VC of Central University of Jammu. According to sources five locals among 15 candidates were short listed and invited for interaction with the Search Committee. The locals, who were short-listed, included Prof Devanand (the incumbent Incharge Vice-Chancellor of the Central University Jammu), Prof Irshad Ahmad Hamal (Vice-Chancellor of Baba Gulam Shah Badshah University, Rajouri), Prof G M Bhat, (Professor of Economics in Kashmir University), Prof Rajiv Gupta (former Pro-Vice-Chancellor of Central University Jammu and ex Professor in Jammu University) and Prof Ashok Aima (former Professor of Management in Jammu University), sources informed. More than three hundred Professors from across the country had applied for the post of the Vice-Chancellor, applications for which were invited last year after constitution of a Search Committee for the purpose. The other short-listed candidates included Prof G K Karmath, Prof Narpinder Singh, Prof Madhusudan H Fulekar, Prof S A Kori, Prof Ashok K Singh, Prof Arun Diwaker Nath Bajpai, Prof Suresh Chand, Prof Baishnab C Tripathi, Prof R K Bedi and Prof B S Ghuman.
