Privatisation of medical colleges is against the principles of the Constitution, says YSRCP MLC Kumbha Ravibabu
Kumbha Ravibabu, an observer for the YSRCP, criticized the proposed privatization of government medical colleges constructed during Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy's tenure, arguing it violates the Indian Constitution's principles of free education and healthcare. He stated that a one-crore signature campaign across the state has garnered attention from various political leaders and citizens opposing the move. Ravibabu claimed the government could complete construction with minimal funds, suggesting privatization is motivated by financial reasons rather than genuine need.
