The Telangana Rashtra Samithi on Friday demanded the intervention of Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy to resolve the controversy surrounding the increase of medical seats in the State.
Talking to reporters after submitting a memorandum to the the Chief Minister at the State Secretariat, TRS MLA T Harish Rao said that the Chief Minister should intervene to ensure that the injustice done to the Telangana region in increasing the medical seats was undone. He demanded that seats in medical colleges of Telangana were not increased citing minor technical glitches or lapses. Demanding that the State Government take stern action against the erring officials, he demanded that the medical seats in the region should be increased on par with other regions.
The TRS leaders condemned the Medical Council of India’s decision of not increasing the seats in the Gandhi Medical College. He demanded that an all-party delegation be taken to New Delhi to resolve the controversy and to ensure that the Telangana region gets its due share in increase of medical seats.
Harish Rao also announced the TRS would not obstruct the conduct of Indiramma Bata programme in the region. He said while the party would continue its struggle to get statehood for Telangana, it was also in favour of development in the region. Therefore, he said that the TRS would not obstruct the Indiramma Bata programme, anywhere in the region.
