Akhilesh Yadav wrote on social media X, BJP sees communalism even in education. Education, teachers, learners and jobs after education are not in the agenda of BJP.

Let us tell you that the sword of bulldozer action has hung on 38 buildings of Mohammad Ali Jauhar University. Vice President/DM of Rampur Development Authority (RDA) Ajay Kumar Dwivedi, considering 38 out of 40 buildings constructed in the university campus as illegal without getting the map passed, has ordered the university management to remove them within 20 days and in case of otherwise, they will be demolished by the authority.

This order was given by the authority after a personal hearing scheduled on Wednesday in relation to the notice issued to Jauhar University by the RDA a few days ago. For this hearing, the deputy registrar, advocate and some representatives of the university appeared before the DM, who was playing the role of VC of RDA.
