The Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president Gidugu Rudra Raju has slammed the YSR Congress government in the State for what he alleged as “commercialisation” of medical education.

Referring to the new seat matrix introduced by the State through GOs 107 and 108 on allocation of 35% of the seats in the new medical colleges under ‘self-financing courses’ category, Mr. Rudra Raju said “this is downright business of medical education”.

Demanding repeal of the two GOs, he said the Congress party had raised serious concern over the matter in an open letter addressed to the Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy.
