BENGALURU, DECEMBER 7
Senior Congress leader D K Shivakumar demanding the Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa to restore allotment of medical college for Kanakapura.
In a letter wrote to the Chief Minister, he has threatened to take serious action if the BJP-led coalition government in Karnataka continue to indulge in ‘vendetta politics,’ as he demanded the restoration of allotment of medical college for Kanakapura.
Shivakumar, who represents Kanakapura constituency, pointed out that the medical college was approved by the previous coalition government for which land was allotted and preparations were on to perform ‘Bhoomi Puje’ (ground breaking).
He alleged the BJP government on coming to power decided to cancel it and transfer the same to Chikballapura.
‘I request you to immediately order restoration of the allotment of Medical College at Kanakapura and give a date for performing Bhoomi Puja.
I may also bring to your notice that if your government’s sole intention is to play vendetta politics, I will be constrained to resort to serious action in my own way to get justice to the people of Kanakapura for which, I hope, you will not give scope,’ Shivakumar said.
He noted that he was shocked to learn that the single- member cabinet of Yediyurappa soon after coming to power took a decision to cancel the medical college overnight and transfer/re-allot the same to Chikballapura.
It may be recalled that Shivakumar even vowed to ‘lay down his life’ for the sake of his dream project.
