YSRCP president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has criticised Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu for “privatising medical colleges” and weakening the Arogyasri healthcare scheme.
In a post on X, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said, while Andhra Pradesh had 11 government medical colleges until 2019, Mr. Naidu did not establish any new ones during his earlier tenure. The YSRCP government had sanctioned 17 colleges between 2019 and 2024, of which five were completed. One college admitted students after the elections. “Had the NDA government continued the work, 12 colleges would have become operational,” he said.
