Bengaluru, Nov 1: At the cabinet meeting, it is learnt that several ministers asked the government not to buckle under pressure being mounted by former minister, D K Shivakumar, on the issue of shifting of medical college sanctioned to Kanakapura to Chikkaballapur.

A number of ministers including deputy chief minister, Dr C N Ashwath Narayan, reportedly asked the chief minister not to change stand about the shifting of college. Chief minister B S Yediyurappa, concurred with their view and said that it is not possible to sanction a medical college to every taluk. He noted that Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences has already been sanctioned to Ramanagara.

Ashwath Narayan opined that irrespective of whether Shivakumar undertakes protest, fast, or other forms of agitation, the decision on shifting of medical college to Chikkaballapur should not be withdrawn. Many ministers supported him, it is learnt.

In the meantime, Shivaliumar has accused Yediyurappa of owning politics of vengeance. He warned that he will not sit quiet if the government does not sanction medial college for Kanakapura.

The cabinet meeting in the meantime, gave its nod to carve out Machenahalli revenue division in Gauribidanur taluk of Chikkaballapur district as a separate taluk. Although former minister Shivashankar Reddy, has been opposing this proposal, the cabinet meeting went ahead and took this decision, thus honouring another demand of disqualified Chikkaballapur MLA Dr Sudhakar.

    Former minister, D K Shivakumar, on the issue of shifting of medical college sanctioned to Kanakapura to Chikkaballapur should worry less than his own health after being kept 'Tihar' Jail.
    He seems to be looking visibly weak despite having a strong Vokkaliga leader. From the inner circle of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the leader has been induced with slow radioactive poison which can be given sudden seizure of heart attack to collapse to death.
    In the past, the BJP government has selectively targeted powerful opposition leaders like Tamil Nadu former CM Jayalalitha, Judge Loyola in fake encounter cases in which Home Minister was accused and many whistleblowers in 'Vypam scam' all mysteriously died with same symptoms.
    It is time for him to fly the EU to get an anti-dot before the poison kicks off.

    Albert, don't call any particular politician corrupt or a goonda. Almost all politicians from all parties are corrupt and are goondas but they are ruling our state as well as our country. This is India, corruption is a way of life and if one is honest and straight forward he can never survive as a politician in India. This situation can never change even in a thousand years.

    Frankly speaking the medical students who are studying should opt for the convenient place and not the politicians who would gain their profit illegally.

    I wonder whether we can call our country democratic. Goondas like these rule and dictate terms. It is a shame.
    Whatever political party they belong their power should be curtailed.
