Indian congress leader criticizes Kerala's slow adaptation to modern changes like private universities.

Congress leader Shashi Tharoor criticized Kerala's Communist-led government for being slow to adapt to modern changes, such as allowing private universities, which he says is 15 to 20 years overdue. Tharoor mocked the government for potentially entering the 21st century in the 22nd, citing past resistance to technology like computers and mobile phones. The Kerala State Private Universities Bill was recently passed, marking a shift from the government's previous opposition to education privatization.
