Speaking in Delhi, Shivakumar noted that the proposal for AIIMS in Raichur had been pending for decades, with the state government offering full cooperation, including providing land.
He criticised the Centre for not cooperating with Karnataka despite the state government’s support, including improving infrastructure like national and state highways to facilitate the establishment of AIIMS.
Shivakumar reiterated the state’s commitment to pushing for the hospital’s establishment and vowed to continue fighting for its realisation, alongside Karnataka’s MPs.

Rajanna claims that an amount of ₹5 lakh was deposited to individuals involved in the plot. He further revealed that the CID is investigating a separate honey trap attempt on his father, which was also being probed by police officials.
Despite no CCTV footage being available, Rajanna remains confident in identifying those responsible. The investigation continues.
