BJP’s bizarre claims about colleges
The BJP-led union government at the centre was occupied with outright lies and absurd claims about its nonexistent role in getting medical colleges sanctioned and funded for telangana, while the telangana government was pressed for time to finish the construction of 9 medical colleges, upgrade the attached district hospitals, hire teaching faculty, and get them ready for NMC inspection.
The BJP-led federal government repeatedly made false claims that it founded and even supported the medical institutions in telangana last year and even this year. Under its Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS) headed "Establishment of new Medical Colleges attached with existing district/referral hospitals," the BJP-led union government has not yet allocated or financed a single medical college. Yet it brazenly persists in lying and causing confusion by disseminating false information by asserting that it has built medical colleges.
To clear up any confusion, the telangana government spent more than Rs 4,500 crore to build 9 medical colleges, with each college costing more than Rs 400 crore. The NMC, not the union government, was the entity that recognised the nine medical colleges.
