YSRCP's 'Chalo Medical College': A Stand Against Privatisation

The YSRCP organized a protest named 'Chalo Medical College' throughout Andhra Pradesh, opposing the alleged privatisation of government medical colleges by the TDP-led government. YSRCP claims the privatisation harms healthcare and education, and asserts that the protests will be peaceful, led by students and youth leadership.

The YSRCP has initiated a statewide protest dubbed 'Chalo Medical College' against the TDP-led government's alleged privatisation of government medical colleges in Andhra Pradesh.

According to the YSRCP, ten out of seventeen medical colleges established during the previous Jagam Mohan Reddy administration are at risk of privatisation, which allegedly aims to benefit vested interests.

The party contends this move will undermine the healthcare infrastructure and disrupt affordable medical education, prompting peaceful demonstrations led by students and youth. Attempts to suppress the protest by placing senior opposition leaders under house arrest have also been reported.
