Speaking to a TV Channel at the hotel, Pratap added that the coalition government was not concerned about the interest of the majority and that is why he resigned from the assembly.

“There are chances that more MLAs will resign and join us. I believe our demands will be met if we switch to BJP, there is no developmental work going on in the state under this government. They party is also not respecting senior leaders like me, they are not even bothered to contact me” he added.

He further added that he had not thought about joining BJP as yet.

The centre will provide comprehensive palliative care, including medical support, counselling for patients and their families, and bereavement care. The facility aims to help families cope with the physical and emotional challenges of caring for terminally ill patients.

“A cornerstone of the project was the generous donation of land by former MLC E Krishnappa, which made the centre possible,” DH quoted Palani Loganathan as saying.

The inauguration ceremony will be attended by Madhusudan Sai, founder of the Sri Madhusudan Sai Global Humanitarian Mission, Karnataka Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao and Rajya Sabha MP Dr C.N. Manjunath who also serves as the chief medical advisor to the centre will also be present, along with several senior government officials and healthcare leaders.
