Rahul accuses centre of playing with future of youth
Cancellation of Rafale deal with HAL
Bengaluru, October 13: AICC President Rahul Gandhi accused the central government of playing with the future of thousands of eligible young graduates besides cancelling the Rafale fighter jet manufacturing deal with the HAL.
Speaking to reporters after holding a discussion with the HAL retired employees at the Minsk Square(Cubbon Park) in front of the HAL Head Office here on Saturday, Rahul Gandhi said that “the central government should have thought before cancelling the Rafale deal with the HAL. Today I have discussed with the retired employees of the HAL. The HAL has 70 years of long experience in the Defense Ministry. The HAL has manufactured various fighter jets like Sukhoi and Tejas. But the Centre has insulted their expertise and experience. The Union Defense Minister has been saying that the HAL does not have the experience of manufacturing fighter jets. Why does she keep mum on Rs 30,000 crore Rafale deal with Ambani Company which does not have any experience in that field”, he asked.
“Compared to HAL, Anil Ambani company has no experience. But Prime Minister Narendra Modi has used this deal only to help Anil Ambani. People of the country have understood this simple thing. HAL is not a loss-making public sector unit. But Anil Ambani is in loss. By cancelling the agreement with the HAL, the centre has snatched the future of thousands of youth of the country. HAL employees and officials have dedicated their life to the country.
The Union Defense Minister is lying about the Rafale Deal. Because, France Former President has already disclosed the truth”, Rahul Gandhi said.

Daycare chemotherapy centres to be set up in district hospitals, announces Dr. Sharanaparakash Patil
Belagavi: Medical Education Minister Dr. Sharanaparakash Rudrappa Patil on Tuesday said the State government plans to establish day-care chemotherapy centres in all district hospitals across Karnataka to make cancer treatment more accessible.
Replying to a question raised by BJP MLC M.P. Kushalappa during the Question Hour in the Legislative Council, the minister said it was not feasible for cancer patients from various districts to travel repeatedly to Kidwai Memorial Institute in Bengaluru. To address this issue, the government is taking steps to establish cancer care centers in other districts in collaboration with the Kidwai Memorial Institute of Oncology.
Providing details of cancer treatment at Kidwai, Dr. Patil said that over the past three years, 41,512 cancer patients have received treatment at the institute. Treatment included surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these, depending on the type and stage of cancer.
Between 2022 and 2024, a total of 12,781 patients underwent surgery, 14,423 patients received radiation therapy, and over 28,370 patients were administered chemotherapy, he said.
The minister further noted that more than 110 patients were provided bone marrow transplants, an otherwise expensive procedure, free of cost at the institute during the same period.
The proposed day-care chemotherapy centers, he said, would significantly reduce the burden on patients and improve access to timely cancer treatment at the district level.
