Hoping a qualitative change in higher education, the Governor said “today even more improved therapies are available to treat the cancer of higher education system,” he added.
On a lighter note, Naik described himself as “living in Vanprashtha Ashram of politics” though he stressed that this should not be construed as his retirement or that he was tired.
“Its a common notion that a governor is appointed when he is retiring but this is wrong.” He said as a representative of the Centre in the state, he would discharge his duties sincerely.
Naik rejected reports that his relations with the SP government were bad. “The UP chief minister himself denied such reports,” he said and added that “the chief minister was speaking the truth.”
