Taking exception to Medical Education Minister Sharan Prakash Patil’s statement saying that the State government will urge the Union government to establish All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Kalaburagi, Parasmal Sukhani, Executive Member of Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) and president of Taranath Shikshana Samsthe, Raichur, has urged the State government to get the premier health institute established in Raichur as promised in its manifesto.
In a letter he wrote to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday, Mr. Sukhani termed Dr. Patil’s statement as misleading and reminded the Chief Minister of the Congress promise in its manifesto to establish the AIIMS that has been sanctioned for the State, in Raichur.
“Activists from my [Raichur] district have been on strike for the last 400 days demanding AIIMS for Raichur; yet, there has been no positive assurance.”Parasmal Sukhani,KPCC Executive Member
