BANGALORE, June 6. – Mallya Apollo Hospital, a high-tech medical
facility, co-sponsored by the UB Group, will be inaugurated this month end in
the city. The hospital, a Rs. 55 crore
project with latest medical equipment is one of the four hospitals of Apollo
Group, Madras.
Spiritual leader Sathya Sai Baba today visited and blessed the Mallya
Apollo Hospital. Chief Minister S. Bangarappa inaugurated the blessing ceremony
by lighting a lamp. In his address, the
Baba regretted that the four temples – hospital, school, kitchen and temple –
had been degenerating into commercial centres. He urged the hospital
authorities to make its services available not only to the rich but also
provide free medical care to the down trodden.
Mr. Pratap Reddy, Chairman, Apollo Institution, said that the hospital
would initially have 150 beds and there was a plan to increase it to 500 beds.
On the cover of Indian Skeptic is the photograph of Sathya Sai Baba
blessing the Mallya Apollo Hospital (picture & article taken from DECCAN
HERALD, 7.6.1991). Vijay Mallya, the Liquor King is the owner of United
Breweries. Unless he was in the inner circle of Sai Baba Gang, Sai Baba would
not have attended the inauguration of the Hospital. Though the Hospital was
started in collaboration with Dr. Pratap Reddy, the Founder of Apollo Group of
Hospitals, through the influence of Sai Baba, Vijay Mallya could get control of
the Hospital.
To know the connections between the Liquor King and Sai Baba we have to
go to 1985 and scan the newspapers. We are just giving the titles of the
newspapers wherein Vijay Mallya and others were raided and how Sai Baba
influence helped him to come out of the charges unscathed.
