Kerala's AIIMS Project Promised by Union Minister Suresh Gopi
The government is planning to build a new hospital called AIIMS in Kerala.
A minister named Suresh Gopi said this will happen soon, before he leaves his job.
He wants the state government to help choose where to build it by giving multiple options.
The state government also wants to build this hospital and had suggested one place.
Now, there's a bit of a disagreement about where to put it.
The minister says that he will only ask for votes in the next election if they have started building the hospital.
This is meant to give better healthcare services to the people.
Union Minister Suresh Gopi promised an AIIMS project in Kerala before his tenure ends.
Gopi stated he will seek votes in the next election only after laying the foundation stone.
Gopi criticized the state government for delays in project sanction.
The state government was urged to provide multiple location options to the Centre.
The Chief Minister of Kerala previously requested the AIIMS be established in Kozhikode.
