Jagan to Present ‘One Crore’ Signatures to Andhra Governor on Dec. 17 Over Alleged Medical College Privatization

The opposition party is using a mass petition to challenge what it calls a move to privatise 10 newly established government medical colleges.

Overview

  • The Governor's office has confirmed a 4 p.m. appointment on December 17 for Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy to submit the petition, according to the party.
  • YSRCP says the campaign amassed more than one crore signatures statewide within a week, with totals still being compiled.
  • Signature documents from all 26 districts are being transported to Vijayawada in specially arranged vehicles for consolidation.
  • District-level submissions and rallies are set for December 13, with leaders instructed to digitise signatures and drive large turnouts.
  • The drive began in October and a planned November 25 submission was postponed because of cyclone Montha.
