AP Government watering down welfare schemes

Vidadala Rajini Slams Chandrababu Naidu-led Coalition Government

Guntur, Nov 19: Former Minister Vidadala Rajini criticized the coalition government for watering down Aarogyasri, neglecting ambulance services, and halting the construction of medical colleges, in addition to leveling false allegations against the YS Jagan Mohan Reddy government. Speaking to the media here on Tuesday, she said that the Health Minister has been spreading false information about the health sector during their government, as they want to pursue a policy of privatization.

Rajini highlighted that while YS Jagan Mohan Reddy had planned 17 medical colleges in three phases, with five colleges completed in the first phase, offering 750 seats for medical students by 2024, and work already underway for five more in the second phase, the coalition government failed to carry the initiative forward, merely to benefit private players.

Rajini further noted that the vindictive nature of Chandrababu Naidu came to the fore when the government singled out YSR Medical College in Pulivendula, writing to the National Medical Council not to allot seats to the college, citing incomplete infrastructure. However, the majority of the work was completed by January, and yet this government did not continue the work, effectively stalling the progress of the medical college.

Ex Minister also pointed out that the emergency ambulance services, 104 and 108, were watered down, and the Family Doctor scheme was being ignored. "The coalition government is trying to create a narrative that nothing was done during the previous government, despite tangible progress in development," she said.

The allegations, she claimed, were only an attempt to cover up the coalition government’s failures. She demanded that the work on medical colleges be completed and that health schemes like Aarogyasri be strengthened.
