Satya Also Wants UP CM’s Treatment Against Disruptive Elements In AP

KAKINADA: Looks like Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has a lot of fans in the Andhra Pradesh cabinet.

On Saturday, Deputy Chief Minister K. Pawan Kalyan supported Yogi’s modus operandi to suppress “subversive elements” in the state. On Sunday, this person was revealed to be Minister of Medicine and Health Y. Satya Kumar Yadav.

After administering pulse polio drops to children at Urban Health Center in Ramaraopeta on Sunday, Satya Kumar fully supported Pawan Kalyan’s statement. He accused some people, especially YSRC, of threatening the ruling alliance leaders, industrialists and officials.

“Some unconventional methods will have to be used to eradicate these elements. If an organ in the body is affected by cancer, surgical removal of the organ becomes necessary to prevent the spread of the disease and save a life. It may seem cruel, but it is necessary under the prevailing circumstances,” the Minister of Medicine and Health said. He said sometimes laws need to be circumvented.

Satya Kumar Yadav argued that private-public partnership is necessary to open government medical colleges for the benefit of both students and patients, so that the number of seats and hospital beds can increase in the next two years.

“However, YSRC leaders are threatening to imprison officials if the PPP style is adopted in universities,” the minister said. He observed that YSRC can approach the court if medical colleges want to oppose the PPP style. He described YSRC’s one-crore signature program against privatization of medical colleges as “completely fake”.

Satya Kumar said that pulse polio drops will be administered to 54,07,663 children in the state for three days. No kid will be left without administering polio drops, he is underlined, saying the state aims to make AP polio-free.

The minister said steps were being taken to control scrub typhus disease and people need not worry about it. However, he added that those affected by the disease should receive timely treatment.

Others who attended the pulse polio program included Kakinada MLA Vanamadi Venkateswara Rao, Kakinada Rural MLA Pantham Venkateswara Rao, Anaparthi MLA Nallamilli Ramakrishna Reddy and Prathipadu MLA Varupula Satyaprabha.
