On December 15, 2025, YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leaders launched a signature campaign against the government’s alleged move to privatise medical colleges. The campaign vehicle was flagged off at the undivided Chittoor district party office in Tirupati. The party opposes what it calls the privatisation of government medical colleges under the guise of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) mode. Regional Coordinator Peddireddy Ramachandra Reddy led the event. Also present were combined Chittoor district president Bhumana Karunakar Reddy, city Mayor B.R. Sireesha Yadav, former Minister R.K. Roja, and youth wing State vice-president Bhumana Abhinay Reddy. This campaign is part of YSRCP’s effort to mobilise public opinion against the alleged move across Andhra Pradesh.
