"BJP favoured that the university should have two separate campuses -- one at Dehra (Hamirpur) and other at Dharamsala (Kangra)-- and just because of this attitude, the institute was sandwiched between the cheap politics," he said.
The chief minister expressed his views while addressing a gathering at Jawalamukhi in Kangra.
He said that he won't allow two campuses of the varsity.
Singh also announced opening of sub divisional police officers (SDPO) office at Jawalamukhi and up-gradation of government middle school Amb Salhettar, Bandol, Dol (Kathog) and Chaukath.
