Mysore/Mysuru: Laying the foundation stone for the Peripheral Centre of Kidwai Memorial Cancer Institute yesterday, CM Siddaramaiah humorously reflected on his unfulfilled desire to become a doctor.
He said, “I came to Mysuru from a rural area with the aspiration to study MBBS. During my PUC days at Vidyavardhaka College, observing the medical students from nearby Mysore Medical College (MMC), I harboured a strong desire to become a doctor. Unfortunately, I couldn’t secure an MBBS seat, so I pursued B.Sc. If I had become a doctor, I might not have had the opportunity to serve as Chief Minister twice. Nonetheless, I’m pleased that I now have the chance to serve the people in this capacity. But my son Yathindra is a doctor.”
