Raichur: In a move that has sparked widespread discontent, the central government has once again denied the establishment of an AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences) in Raichur, despite fervent appeals from local leaders and a prolonged protest by the AIIMS Horatha Samithi. The exclusion of AIIMS Raichur from the recent central budget has been met with significant opposition from various quarters, including dynamic and bold Congress leader Ravi Boseraju.
Ravi Boseraju, known for his relentless advocacy for the development of Raichur, has expressed profound disappointment over the central government’s repeated neglect. “This decision is a blatant disregard for the healthcare needs of the people of Raichur and the surrounding regions,” Boseraju stated. “Despite the Chief Minister’s three written appeals and a personal meeting with Prime Minister Modi, our demand for AIIMS Raichur continues to be ignored.”
The ongoing protest by the AIIMS Horatha Samithi, which has entered its 800th day, highlights the community’s unwavering commitment to securing a premier medical institution for Raichur. Protesters have consistently underscored the necessity of an AIIMS to address the acute healthcare challenges faced by the region.
“The persistence and dedication of the AIIMS Horatha Samithi reflect the urgency and legitimacy of our demand,” Ravi Boseraju added. “It is high time the central government recognizes and addresses this pressing issue. The establishment of AIIMS in Raichur is not just a local aspiration; it is a critical need for the entire region.”
Ravi Boseraju’s call to action resonates with the sentiments of many in Raichur who feel marginalized by the central government’s continued inaction. He emphasized the need for united efforts to amplify their voices and ensure that the demand for AIIMS Raichur is no longer sidelined.
As the protest continues, the people of Raichur remain hopeful that their persistent efforts, backed by leaders like Ravi Boseraju, will eventually lead to the establishment of AIIMS in their region, thereby significantly improving healthcare access and outcomes for the local population.
