Move to `sell' 40 MBBS seats flayed

HYDERABAD: The A. P. Junior Doctors Association has strongly protested against the Government's decision to `sell' 40 MBBS and two BDS seats in Government medical and dental colleges in the name of development quota.

In a representation so the Chief Secretary, the Association said seats were proposed to be sold through the backdoor to the influential and the rich who were exempted from writing the EAMCET. This kind of gross violation of the laws of the land was dangerous, it said.

It would also reduce the number of seats which would be otherwise be available to the BC, SC and ST candidates besides the meritorious students. These seats could be claimed by any person in the country in violation of the six-point formula.
