Meanwhile, he also said that the proposal for a medical college in Kanakapura has been cancelled.

“Kanakapura medical college stands cancelled. The state government has the right to review any proposal as long it has not been implemented. The Kanakapura college was still in the proposal stage,” the Deputy Chief Minister said.

Narayan said that they were trying to set up colleges at the district level. “Before going to Taluka level, we have to set up colleges at the district level. Medical colleges at Taluka level are something unheard of,” he added.

On reports of Kanakapura medical college being shifted to Chikkaballapur, Narayan said: “The medical college in Chikkaballapur has nothing to do with Kanakapura.”

Congress leader DK Shivakumar had strongly protested against the reports of state government shifting the medical college from his constituency, Kanakapura.

The previous Congress-JDS government in the state had cleared the proposal to set up a medical college in Kanakapura.
