DMK, AIADMK not ready to flag pathetic status of MKU, says NTK candidate

Electioneering in Thirupparankundram Assembly seat was happening on non-issues like lighting of Sri Subramaniyaswamy Temple Karthigai deepam, while one of the oldest universities in the country, Madurai Kamaraj University (MKU), was making an existential struggle, said NTK candidate T. Sathya Devi.

An alumna of the MKU, which falls within Thirupparankundram Assembly constituency, Ms. Sathya Devi charged that both the AIADMK and the DMK, which had won from this seat for decades, were not touching this very important topic in this election. The financial condition of university that was founded in 1965 was in the doldrums.
