Bharatiya Janata Party National Executive Member Nagam Janardhan Reddy on Saturday criticised the decision of TRS Government to increase the fee of medical students in Telangana State.
Addressing a press conference at the Telangana BJP office, Nagam said that fee structure in neighbouring States had remained unchanged. While the fee in Andhra Pradesh Rs 5.5 lakh, it is Rs 3.5 lakh in Karnataka.
However, he alleged that Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has given nod for the hike in medical fee after receiving kickbacks from managements of private medical colleges.
Nagam also accused KCR of adopting a confrontation attitude with the Centre only to satisfy his personal ego. He said while Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu has got several sops from the Centre for his State, KCR did not get anything for the people of Telangana State.
He said that the TRS has promised to supply power for eight hours to the farming community during the first three years of it coming to power. It promised 24 hour supply after three years.
However, the government is not in a position to supply power even for five hours and KCR is hesitant to approach the Centre seeking additional power to overcome the ongoing crisis.
