Former Chief Minister and YCP President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy lashed out at the coalition government, criticizing their handling of various issues, including education and healthcare. During a press conference, Jagan expressed his outrage, stating that the government has failed to release fee reimbursement amounts, forcing students to discontinue their education.

"The government has not released fee reimbursement amounts, leaving students in a lurch," Jagan said. "So far, eight quarters of fee reimbursement have been pending, amounting to approximately Rs. 5600 crores. They have only released Rs. 700 crores, leaving a balance of Rs. 4800 crores." He further alleged that the government has also stopped providing Vasati Deevena, a scholarship program, with Rs. 2200 crores pending.

Jagan also criticized the government's handling of government schools, stating that they have been neglected and are being run down. "Every child is being forced to take on the burden of their education individually," he said. "The food being served in government hostels is not even fit for consumption. In the last 18 months, 29 students have died due to contaminated food and water in government hostels."

The former CM also slammed the government for scrapping the Aarogyasri health insurance scheme, stating that it has left the poor without access to quality healthcare. "The government has contracted a 'magic disease' and has abandoned Aarogyasri," Jagan quipped. "The government is only interested in scams and shirking its responsibilities."

Jagan revealed that the government had paid only Rs. 1800 crores to network hospitals, leaving a balance of Rs. 3600 crores. "As a result, network hospitals have gone on strike, leaving the poor without access to healthcare," he said.

The YCP president also criticized the government's decision to privatize medical colleges, stating that it is a scam. "The government is handing over government land, buildings, and staff to private players, while the burden of paying salaries remains with the government," Jagan alleged. "The profits will go to private players, while the government bears the losses."

Jagan announced that his party would launch a protest against the government's decisions, including a signature campaign, rallies, and a petition to the Governor. "We will collect crores of signatures and submit them to the Governor," he said. "We will also approach the High Court if necessary."

In conclusion, Jagan stated that the government's actions are a clear indication of its anti-people policies. "The government is more interested in scams and shirking its responsibilities than serving the people," he said.
