YSRCP Protests Privatization of Government Medical Colleges
Leaders from the YSRCP party are protesting because the government has decided to sell government medical schools to private companies.
The YSRCP says this is a terrible idea that will hurt people's health.
They claim that the previous government started building many new medical schools, and now the current government is trying to give them away.
They also say that a healthcare program called Aarogyasri is not working well anymore.
The YSRCP is collecting many signatures from people who disagree with this plan and will give them to the Governor.
They are also planning more protests if the government doesn't change its mind.
They question why the government can't find money for these schools when it has borrowed a lot of money.
YSRCP leaders are protesting the coalition government's decision to privatize government medical colleges, calling it a 'death warrant' for public health.
The YSRCP Youth Wing organized a 'One-Crore Signature Campaign' to oppose the privatization move.
YSRCP claims the previous administration initiated the construction of 17 government medical colleges.
Leaders criticized the government for weakening the Aarogyasri healthcare scheme and questioned its financial priorities.
The party plans to submit collected signatures to the Governor and intensify protests if the decision is not reconsidered.
