YSRCP chief Jagan Mohan Reddy, in a significant political move, submitted over one crore signatures opposing the proposed privatization of medical colleges to Andhra Pradesh Governor S Abdul Nazeer.

During the statewide campaign lasting from October 10 to December 10, Reddy accused the current government of perpetrating what he called the "biggest scam" in the country. He contended that privatizing medical colleges would unfairly channel public funds into private hands while eroding health services for the poor.

Reddy also criticized the NDA coalition, led by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, for its mismanagement and alleged anti-people policies. The YSRCP leader emphasized the campaign's mass participation as a reflection of public dissatisfaction and promised to take the signatures to the courts to formally raise public grievances.
