Health Minister Satya Kumar on Wednesday responded sharply to remarks made by YSRCP president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy regarding the Degree Selection Committee (DSC), claiming the opposition leader's comments were misleading and motivated by political weakness.
Kumar suggested that Jagan Mohan Reddy should demonstrate political courage by attending sessions of the State Legislative Assembly to engage with the government on the contentious DSC matter. The Health Minister extended an invitation from the Human Resources Development Minister for a formal debate on the issue, positioning it as an opportunity for the YSRCP chief to substantiate his allegations.
The DSC controversy has remained a point of contention between the ruling party and the opposition YSRCP in Andhra Pradesh. Kumar's intervention reflects the government's strategy to challenge the opposition to present its arguments in a formal legislative forum rather than through public statements.
The exchange underscores the ongoing political tensions in the state capital, with both camps utilizing administrative and educational recruitment issues as focal points for their political discourse.
