The Andhra Pradesh Legislative Council resumed after being adjourned earlier due to protests by YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) MLCs. The legislators continued their agitation inside the House, demanding an immediate discussion on the government’s decision to privatize medical colleges under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model.
Raising slogans and displaying placards, YSRCP members strongly opposed the move, insisting that the policy be scrapped to safeguard public healthcare and education.
The protest intensified as MLCs surrounded the podium, shouting slogans like “Cancel PPP policy” and demanding accountability from the Chandrababu Naidu-led government. Despite the uproar, Question Hour proceedings continued amid the chaos. Earlier in the day, the Chairman rejected YSRCP’s adjournment motion on the issue, leading to heightened demonstrations. With the situation turning disorderly, the Council was adjourned temporarily. The YSRCP asserted that it would continue to resist any attempts to hand over government medical colleges to private hands, calling the move anti-people.
