The coalition government’s decision to privatize government medical colleges under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model has drawn widespread criticism from multiple quarters. Politically, the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) has intensified its protests, expressing concerns over the implications of such privatization on accessibility and affordability of medical education.
In response, YSRCP has demanded a detailed discussion on this issue in the state assembly. While the government had previously agreed only to a short discussion, the party is now pushing to ensure a full-fledged debate takes place. On Monday, YSRCP submitted an adjournment motion to the assembly chairman, urging immediate deliberation on the matter.
The move reflects the party’s determination to hold the government accountable and highlight potential risks associated with privatizing medical institutions. The issue is expected to spark significant discussion in the legislative assembly, drawing attention from both policymakers and the public.
