“The State government must act on a war footing and complete the admissions process within the stipulated deadline. The dreams of parents who hope to see their children become doctors cannot be shattered due to this careless attitude,” he added.

In a statement, the BRS working president criticised the Congress government for turning a previously smooth process into chaos, pointing out that medical admissions in Telangana had been conducted without issue for the past decade under the BRS regime. He attributed the delay to the controversial GO 33 issued by the Congress government, unfairly impacting the natives of Telangana by complicating the matter of locality.

“The Chief Minister owes an apology to the students for bringing in this unnecessary GO and delaying the admissions process. Even though the Supreme Court gave its verdict four days ago, the state government has done nothing to move forward,” he pointed out.

Rama Rao also noted that while other States were nearing the final stages of medical admissions, Telangana was yet to make initiate the process. He expressed concern over the harm to students and their academic futures if the admissions process was not completed by the October 31 deadline.

“If this delay continues, students will suffer immensely. The Congress government’s inaction is an unforgivable crime,” he said.
