Addressing a Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) meeting, the CM said that as education was a state subject, the centre could not legally formulate country-wide laws about it. "The NEP has been created without consulting the states," he added. Earlier in the day, Siddaramaiah met with vice chancellors and officials from universities across the state. Calling the NEP a "conspiracy," he said a uniform curriculum was not possible for a country as diverse as India.
