Pinarayi Vijayan, Leader of Opposition in Kerala Assembly, criticized the state government's circular permitting autonomous aided and self-financing colleges to increase seats without prior government approval. He argued this move would commercialize education and demanded immediate withdrawal of the circular. Vijayan highlighted that a September 11 circular mandated prior approval for new courses and seat increases, but the government relaxed these norms under pressure from private college managements.
