TS TDP decries medical fee hike

Hyderabad: Telangana Telugu Desam Party (TDP) on Monday demanded Governor ESL Narasimhan to direct the Telangana government to withdraw the orders hiking the fee for medical seats and maintain status quo on the line of Andhra Pradesh government.

Party senior leader and MLA A Revanth Reddy said the government’s decision to hike annual fee for management quota seats of private medical colleges had come as a rude jolt to the aspiring students. He sought to know the reasons for the fee hike by the government when its counterpart AP had decided not to make any change to it.
