Overview
- YSRCP began rallies across all 175 Assembly constituencies on November 12 and opened a one‑crore signature campaign seeking withdrawal of the plan.
- The TDP‑led government earlier outlined commissioning 10 upcoming government medical colleges through a Public–Private Partnership model to speed delivery.
- BJP spokespersons reject the privatisation charge and say PPP limits private partners to equipment and maintenance while land, hospitals and services remain under government control.
- According to the BJP, 70% of beds would be for general patients, half of MBBS and PG seats would stay under government quota, fees would be set by APHERMC, and outpatient, lab and medicines would be free.
- There is no announcement of a reversal of the PPP commissioning plan as both sides escalate their public campaigns over access, costs and completion of the new colleges.
