Ask questions pertaining to public interest, Minister tells scribes

Taking exception to being posed questions about the change of Chief Minister in the State, Minister for Medical Education Sharan Prakash Patil told mediapersons not to ask him such questions and that he would speak about matters pertaining to public interest.

“My priority is improvement and upgradation of the hospitals under the Medical Education Department and improving the medical education system,” he said in Belagavi on Saturday.

On Minister Priyank Kharge’s statement that given an opportunity he would like to become the CM, Dr. Patil told presspersons that Mr. Kharge had not issued the statement on his own. Only after the media repeatedly asked him about it, he had said that if given an opportunity, he would like to become Chief Minister, Dr. Patil said.
