The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has opposed the proposal to rename Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences (NTRUHS) as Dr. YSR University of Health Sciences (YSRUHS).
Soon after the Legislative Assembly passed the ‘Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences (Amendment) Bill, 2022’ on Wednesday, TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu demanded that NTR’s name be continued for the health university.
In a statement, Mr. Naidu said none of the Chief Ministers, including Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, had attempted to rename NTRUHS, which won accolades across the country. “It is illogical to rename NTRUHS after 36 long years of its establishment,” Mr. Naidu said.
