Telangana health minister T. Harish Rao, on Sunday, slammed Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan for her remarks on the allocation of government medical colleges to the state by the Centre. Governor Tamilisai, reacting to a Twitter user’s question on the number of medical colleges given to Telangana, said, " When every state applied for new med colleges under PMSSY scheme Telangana failed to apply in time as stated by Union Health minister Mansukh Mandaviya. You sleep and wake up late and ask. TN got 11 medical colleges in a single Year".

Reacting to the governor's tweet, Harish Rao said, "FACT is Gross injustice meted out to Telangana in sanctioning of Medical Colleges, despite repeated pleas from state govt to Centre. Of 157 medical colleges approved by centre, TS got Union Govt discriminated & deceived TS in all three phases of allotment of Colleges".
Referring to Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s remarks, Harish Rao said, " What's worse is Union ministers' contrasting statements on medical colleges. One said TS didn't make any request, other said Govt wanted colleges in Khammam & Karimnagar. By stating Centre didn't give a nod bcos private colleges are already set up, Who is misleading people?"

"Why no one voices about injustice meted to TS? Why not find fault with Centre in the interest of Telangana? It would be a great help to people of TS, if Raj Bhavan reorients its focus & pushes GoI for Tribal University and Rail Coach factory, as promised in APRA2014," he tweeted.
