**Andhra Pradesh: Former CM Jagan Reddy Condemns Denial of Registration to Foreign-Educated Doctors**

**VIJAYAWADA, INDIA – July 2, 2025** – Former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh and YSRCP president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has strongly criticized the state government’s refusal to grant Permanent Registration (PR) to medical graduates who completed their studies abroad. He met with a delegation of affected students and YSRCP Student Wing leaders at the party’s central office in Tadepalli on Wednesday.

The students claim that despite fulfilling all requirements outlined by the National Medical Commission (NMC) – including completing their medical education overseas, passing the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE), and completing mandatory internships – they are being denied their PR numbers, preventing them from practicing medicine in the state. Some students further allege that they are being compelled to work beyond their required internship periods without compensation.

Mr. Jagan condemned the alleged police response to protesting students from the previous night, and he pledged unwavering support to their cause. He characterized the government’s stance as “harassment” of both the students and their families.

The former Chief Minister also used the opportunity to criticize the current government’s approach to medical education, pointing out that his administration had initiated the establishment of 17 new government medical colleges, five of which were operational. He stated, “This government has not only halted the remaining colleges but has even returned the medical seats allocated by the Centre,” suggesting a neglect of medical education expansion.

“We will stand by you until justice is done. Your future cannot be jeopardised by an indifferent administration,” Mr. Jagan assured the students.

YSRCP Student Wing leaders Panuganti Chaitanya and A. Ravichandra, along with numerous young doctors, were present at the meeting, underscoring the party’s commitment to resolving the issue.
