The Sangrur hospital, which has been developed as a 300-bed satellite centre of the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) at Chandigarh, is being inaugurated on Thursday.
Union health minister Ghulam Nabi Azad is scheduled to lay the foundation stone of the hospital.
"I have been constrained to write that there is an unseemly lack of decorum and courtesy involved in the Center's decision. No one in the state government has been informed about the government of India programme. The action lacks courtesy and there is a definite loss of grace and dignity on the part of some people in the Centre who thought they were being too smart in politicizing an issue of sensitive significance to the people of the state" said Badal's missive, a copy of which with TOI.
In his strongly-worded letter, the CM urged the PM to "impress" upon his colleagues to not allow politics to take precedence over issues of development and governmental duties or to over-ride basic governmental courtesies"
"Ignoring state government completely was intolerable as it involved not just issues of protocol but also of great political impropriety" he said.
The 85-year-old CM also pointed out that the proposal for setting up this satellite centre of PGIMER in Punjab had been initiated by him in October 2012.
"The state government had identified a suitable piece of land for it in Sangrur. Later, I along with the Union health secretary, PGI director and state government's officers had also visited the site" he said.
Sangrur is a region, part of cotton-producing Malwa belt of Punjab, which for years has been known for cancer deaths.
More than 10,000 people have died in Malwa due to cancer over the past few years, forcing the Centre and state governments to open hospitals and schemes during past elections.
Badal sought "co-operative federalism" in the working together of the Union and the state governments for the development and prosperity of the states and the country.
"The Centre and states must work hand in hand in an atmosphere of complete constructive cooperation. As a matter of fact, we have always rolled out a red carpet for the honorable members of the Union Government and other constitutional dignitaries from the center," the letter said.
