Following the Chief Minister’s proposal during the ongoing Assembly session on Wednesday to change the name of NTR University of Health Science (NTRUHS) to YSR University of Health Sciences (YSRUHS), the Chairman of the Andhra Pradesh Official Language Commission, Yarlagadda Lakshmi Prasad, announced his resignation to the post.
Addressing the media here, Mr. Prasad said he had submitted his resignation not only to the post in the A.P. Official Language Commission but also as Chairman of the A.P. Hindi Academy and the A.P. Telugu Bhasha Abhivriddhi Pradhikara Samstha.
He said it was his personal choice as he was sentimentally and emotionally attached to former Chief Minister N.T. Rama Rao (NTR).
