Speaking to reporters here on June 17, Saturday,  Poojary also expressed concern over the fact that several patients were affected due to the strike by the private hospitals on  Friday. He also wanted to know if the Chief Minister was a dictator to take such decisions on controlling costs in private hospitals.

The government should think of improving the condition of government hospitals instead of taking such a step said Poojary and warned  that the latest move of the state government may only  affect the party’s prospects in the next elections.

Vijaykumar Shetty, Kallige Taranath Shetty and other Congress leaders were present.
