Debate Over AIIMS Establishment in Kerala Intensifies Amid Political Disputes
Union Minister Suresh Gopi and Kerala Health Minister K. Muraleedharan engaged in a verbal dispute over the establishment of an AIIMS in Kerala, with Gopi advocating for Thrissur as the location. The Centre informed the Kerala High Court that Kerala is not a priority for AIIMS due to its relatively better healthcare, contradicting Gopi's assurances. Opposition parties including Congress, CPI(M), and CPI criticized Gopi for misleading promises and called for clarity on the project's status and location.
