Poor crushed by medical field exploitation, RPC warns
By Doruvu Paul Jagan Babu: Assistant Chief Editor
Rajahmundry – Andhra Pradesh: At a Rashtriya Praja Congress (RPC) weekend meeting, Chief Meda Srinivas decried the medical sector’s exploitation of the poor, demanding government action for fair pay, job security, and accessible healthcare to end the misery of the masses.
RPC rally at headquarters
RPC Founding President Meda Srinivas sounded the alarm at the party’s headquarters, condemning the exploitation of the poor by private medical and educational institutions. The weekend meeting, chaired by Senior Secular Pendyala Kamaraju, drew RPC leaders like Kasa Raju, DV Ramana Murthy, and MD Hussain, who united in a call for urgent reform.
Medical exploitation hits hard
Srinivas slammed private hospitals for denying medicine to the poor, leaving them sick, miserable, and facing early deaths. He accused the government of enabling a “medical mafia” through lax oversight, forcing the middle class and underprivileged to depend on inadequate public healthcare while quality remains out of reach.
Unfair wages fuel suffering
The RPC leader highlighted the plight of private medical and educational staff, overworked and underpaid with no regard for their health or welfare. He alleged that minimum wage violations persist due to corrupt education and labour departments, while managements silence dissent with threats, deepening the exploitation of both workers and patients.
Demands for justice and relief
Srinivas urged the government to enforce 12-month salaries for private sector teachers and medical staff, matching government pay scales, alongside strict holidays and job security. He called for an end to mismanagement in private institutions and recognition for long-serving workers, pressing for reforms to deliver affordable, quality healthcare and education.
A cry for systemic change
Painting a grim picture of the poor as victims of a profit-driven system, Srinivas demanded vocational training and equitable policies to lift them from despair. He warned that without intervention, the majority will remain crushed under exploitative medical and educational regimes, robbed of dignity and opportunity.
