Shivakumar had written a similar letter to Yediyurappa in December last year, requesting to construct the medical college in his constituency.
"I was shocked to learn that your government with only yourself as the single-member cabinet took a decision to cancel it (medical college) overnight and transfer/re-allot the same to Chikballapura. I was totally dismayed that such a decision was taken by a person like you who made a promise in the public that you would never resort to vendetta politics," Shivakumar's earlier letter had said.
