Overview

• Council Chairman K. Moshen Raju rejected an adjournment motion on the PPP plan, triggering uproar that led to repeated disruptions and an adjournment for the day.
• The Business Advisory Committee agreed to permit a short discussion, but persistent sloganeering and occupation of the well prevented any debate from proceeding.
• YSRCP held a statewide “Chalo Medical College” drive opposing development of 10 of 17 government medical colleges through a public–private partnership, which the party labels privatisation.
• YSRCP chief Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy vowed to intensify the agitation and accused the government of using lathi charges, arrests and house detentions to curb protests.
• Reports cited preventive detentions of senior leaders, including M. Bharat and Jakkampudi Raja, and the Council is slated to reconvene on Monday with the policy still unresolved.
