Satya Also Wants UP CM's Treatment Against Disruptive Elements In AP
Satya Kumar said pulse polio drops will be administered to 54,07,663 kids in the state for three days. No kid will be left without administering polio drops, he underlined, saying the state aims to make AP polio-free: Reports
KAKINADA: It appears there are many admirers of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in the Andhra Pradesh cabinet.
On Saturday, Deputy Chief Minister K. Pawan Kalyan supported Yogi’s style of functioning to suppress “disruptive elements”’’ in the state. On Sunday, it turned out to be Medical and Health minister Y. Satya Kumar Yadav.
After administering pulse polio drops to the kids at the Urban Health Centre in Ramaraopeta here on Sunday, Satya Kumar fully supported Pawan Kalyan’s statement. He charged some people, in particular of the YSRC, with threatening ruling alliance leaders, industrialists and officials.
“Some unconventional methods will have to be employed to root out these elements. If an organ in the body is affected by cancer, it becomes necessary to remove the organ surgically to prevent the spread of the disease and save a life. It may seem cruel, but it is necessary in the prevailing circumstances,” the Medical and Health minister asserted. He went on to say that sometimes, laws have to be overcome.
Satya Kumar Yadav maintained that private-public-partnership is essential for starting government medical colleges in the interests of both students and patients, so that the number of seats and hospital beds could increase in the coming two years.
“But the YSRC leaders are threatening to jail officials if the PPP mode of colleges is adopted,” the minister pointed out. He observed that if the YSRC wants to oppose the PPP mode of medical colleges, it can approach the court. He called the YSRC’s one crore signature programme against privatisation of medical colleges “totally fake.”
Satya Kumar said pulse polio drops will be administered to 54,07,663 kids in the state for three days. No kid will be left without administering polio drops, he underlined, saying the state aims to make AP polio-free.
The minister said steps are being taken to check scrub typhus disease and people need not worry about it. But those affected by the disease must take timely treatment, he added.
Others who participated in the pulse polio programme included Kakinada MLA Vanamadi Venkateswara Rao, Kakinada Rural MLA Pantham Venkateswara Rao, Anaparthi MLA Nallamilli Ramakrishna Reddy, and Prathipadu MLA Varupula Satyaprabha.
