The ongoing debate between the ruling NDA and the YSR Congress party over the development of medical colleges under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model has intensified, transforming into a significant political conflict. The YSRCP, led by former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, has mobilized protests across the state and managed to collect 1 million signatures against the PPP move, which will be presented to the Governor on December 18.
Meanwhile, in a parliamentary session on Monday, TDP MPs presented strong counterarguments in support of the NDA government’s initiative. The opposition YSRCP, in response, staged a protest at Makar Dwar in New Delhi.
The controversy surrounding this issue has sparked intense discussions within Parliament, with prominent members such as Shashi Tharoor (INC), Nasir Hussain, Anand Sharma, Kiren Rijiju, and others contributing to the discourse. The future of medical education in the country hangs in the balance as both parties continue to present their respective perspectives on this contentious matter.
