Overview

• YSRCP leader Seediri Appalaraju accused the TDP-led government of putting the state “on sale” and vowed to oppose the policy and reverse it if the party returns to power.
• The government has decided to develop 10 of the previously sanctioned 17 medical colleges through a public–private partnership model.
• In a letter to Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, Health Minister Y. Satya Kumar Yadav rejected the privatisation charge and said PPP brings private investment while the state retains control.
• Yadav cited low execution under the prior programme, including 17% financial expenditure (₹1,451 crore) and about 25% physical progress (₹2,101 crore), and detailed further shortfalls across later phases.
• He pointed to 2023 National Medical Commission rules requiring full infrastructure before admissions, noting Paderu could enroll only 50 students against a planned 150, and said fee structures remain unchanged under PPP.
