Minister for Tourism, Culture and Cinematography Kandula Durgesh on Sunday strongly refuted claims by the YSR Congress Party that the TDP government is privatising new medical colleges through the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model.
In a statement, he described the allegations as “false and misleading” and explained that the PPP model accelerates construction while keeping ownership and control with the State government after project completion. According to him, the model will make medical education more accessible, reduce the financial burden on the government, and add at least 150 MBBS seats per college.
